A utility company offers a lifeline rate to any household whose electricity falls below 240 kWh during a particular month. Let A

denote the event that a randomly selected houshold in a certain community does not exceed the lifeline usage during January, and let B be the analogous event for the month of July (A and B refer to the same household). Suppose P(A) = 0.8, P(B) = 0.7, and P(A U B) = 0.9. Compute the following:
A. P(A intersection B) B. The probability that the lifeline usage amount exceeded in exactly one of the two months.  Describe this event in terms of A and B.

Answer:

A. 0.6

B. 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

For part A we use the the general probability addition rule for the union of two events that states

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) − P(A∩B)

Making P(A∩B) the subject of the equation above

P(A∩B) = P(A) + P(B) − P(A∪B)

P(A∩B) = 0.8 + 0.7 - 0.9

P(A∩B) = 0.6

B.

The description in terms of A and B is:

P(A but not B) + P(B but not A) = P(A∩B') + P(B∩A')

where A' is compliment of set A and B' is compliment of set B

The above description means either it exceeds in July or in January (exactly in one of the two months)

P(A∩B') = 0.8 − 0.6

P(B∩A') = 0.7 − 0.6

P(A∩B') + P(B∩A') = 0.3

Answer:

x° is 66°  

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given diagram, we have;

∠JIH = 105° Given

∠IDJ = 39° Given

Therefore, we have;

∠JID and ∠JIH are supplementary angles, by the sum of angles on a straight line

∴ ∠JID + ∠JIH = 180° by definition of supplementary angles

∠JID + 105° = 180° by substitution property

∠JID = 180° - 105° = 75° by angle subtraction postulate

∠JID = 75°

∠IDJ + ∠JID + ∠IJD = 180° by the sum of interior angles of a triangle

∠IJD = 180° - (∠IDJ + ∠JID)  = 180° - (39° + 75°) = 66° angle subtraction postulate

∠IJD = 66°

∠x° ≅ ∠IJD, by vertically opposite angles

∴ ∠x° = ∠IJD = 66° by the definition of congruency

∠x° = 66°

Which of the following properties will most likely have the lowest
victus00 [196]

The correct answer is A: a steel building.

Explanation:

A steel building will have the lowest premiums out of all the choices given above. After reading several insurance companies policies, a steel building has premiums 30% lower than any other homeowner policy. Steel is harder to destroy in a fire and the damage would be less than a wood home, mixed composition, or even an all brick home.  

A wood home has the highest premiums out of all the choices given. When one catches on fire, they will burn fast and usually is a total loss unless the fire trucks get there in minutes.

A brick home can still be destroyed by fire on the inside even if the damage is minimal on the outside of the home.

A mixed composition home, will also be damaged by fire and could be a total loss unless fire trucks are there within minutes.

An 8 foot square floor is to be covered with square tiles measuring 8 inches on each side. If each tile costs 50 cents, how much
wariber [46]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (c) $72

Step-by-step explanation:

Each tile is 8/12 ft = 2/3 ft on a side. Then 8/(2/3) = 12 tiles will fit along each edge of the square area to be tiled. That is ...

  12 × 12 = 144

tiles will be needed to cover the area.

The cost of 144 tiles at $0.50 each is ...

  (144)($0.50) = $72.00
