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

Tpy6a [65]
To find the mean you add all the numbers then divide the sum by how many numbers there are :

1)Ford School
   
21+19+20=60

there are 3 numbers in the equation so you divide 60 by 3 :

60÷3=20

the mean for Ford School is 20

2)Carter School

41+36+37=114

there are 3 numbers in the equation so you divide 114 by 3 :

114÷3=38

the mean for Carter School is 38

hope this helps
