Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A fixed pulley consists of a wheel fixed to a shaft and is used in conjunction with a belt to transfer energy to another fixed pulley. A movable pulley consists of a shell, a movable wheel and a rope. Movable pulleys are also know as block and tackle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of it like this-

subtracting a negative is like adding a positive, so all you have to do is add a negative sign to the sum after solving these sort of problems :>

Hope this helps!

The probability that a student has a Visa card (event V) is .63. The probability that a student has a MasterCard (event M) is .1

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

a) The probability that a student has either a Visa card or a MasterCard is 0.71.

b) V and M are not independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The probability that a student has a Visa card (event V) is 0.63. The probability that a student has a MasterCard (event M) is 0.11. The probability that a student has both cards is 0.03.

To find :

a) The probability that a student has either a Visa card or a MasterCard ?

b) In this problem, are V and M independent ?

Solution :

The probability that a student has a visa card(event V) is P(V)= 0.63

The probability that a student has a MasterCard (event M) is P(M)= 0.11

The probability that a student has both cards is $P(V \cap M)=0.03$

a) Probability that a student has either a Visa card or a Master Card is given by,

$P(V \cup M) = P(V) + P(M) - P(V\cap M)$

$P(V \cup M) = 0.63+ 0.11- 0.03$

$P(V \cup M) =0.74- 0.03$

$P(V \cup M) =0.71$

The probability that a student has either a Visa card or a MasterCard is 0.71.

b) Two events, A and B, are independent if $P(A\cap B)=P(A)P(B)$

For V and M to be independent the condition is satisfied,

$P(V\cap M)=P(V)P(M)$

Substitute the values,

$0.03=0.63\times 0.11$

$0.03\neq 0.0693$

So, V and M are not independent.

A coin is tossed 5 times. Find the probability that all are heads. Find the probability that at most 2 are heads.

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

1/32

15/32

Step-by-step explanation:

For a fair sided coin,

Probability of heads, P(H) = 1/2

Probability of tails P(T) = 1/2

For a coin tossed 5 times,

P( All heads)

= P(HHHHH),

= P (H) x P(H) x P(H) x P(H) x P(H)

= (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2)

= 1/32 (Ans)

For part B, it is easier to just list the possible outcomes for

"at most 2 heads" aka "could be 1 head" or "could be 2 heads"

"One Head" Outcomes:

P(HTTTT), P(THTTT) P(TTHTT), P(TTTHT), P(TTTTH)

"2 Heads" Outcomes:

P(HHTTT), P(HTHTT), P(HTTHT), P(HTTTH), P(THHTT), P(THTHT), P(THTTH), P(TTHHT), P(TTHTH), P(TTTHH)

If we count all the possible outcomes, we get 15 possible outcomes representing "at most 2 heads)

we know that each outcome has a probability of 1/32

hence 15 outcomes for "at most 2 heads" have a probability of

(1/32) x 15 = 15/32

Many of you will live to the year 2100, which is not a leap year. Not all years which are divisible by 4 are leap years. A cente

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

For example, the years 1600, 2000, and 2400 are century leap years since those numbers are divisible by 400, while 1700, 1800, 1900, 2100, 2200, and 2300 are common years despite being divisible by 4.
