Answer:

b. mutually exclusive.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given description is an illustration of mutually exclusive events.

Take for instance, when you roll a die;

It is impossible to have an outcome of 2 and 6 at the same time; these means that 2 and 6 are mutually exclusive.

In a nutshell, when two or more sates of events/states of nature can not happen at the same time; such events/states of nature are mutually exclusive.

For A you would have to convert from that equation to the slope-intercept form of the equation. To do that, first add 2x to both sides, because you want to have x on the right side of the equation. And that's it! That gives you 4y = 2x + 8. And from that equation you can identify the slope (2) and the y-int (8)

For B, the same thing. Converting to slope-intercept form, just with an extra step. First, you would subtract 1y from both sides to move it to the left of the equal sign, since that's where it needs to be for slope-intercept form. That gives you -1y + 7 = -x. Don't worry about the negatives for now. Next, subtract 7 from both sides to get y by itself on the left (because that's how it is in slope-intercept form) which gives you -1y = -x - 7. Then, because you can't have negative variables, divide both sides by negative 1 (a negative divided by a negative equals a positive), to equal y = x + 7. (I've attached a picture showing my steps if the words are too confusing)

For C, you need to find the slope first, then use the slope to find the y-intercept. So subtract. (I've shown in the picture) that equals -8 over 4 which simplifies to -2. So -2 is the slope! Now to find the y-intercept, plug in an ordered pair from the problem (doesn't matter which one) and the slope to find the y-intercept (b). I'm just going to use (-2, 5). So plug in the y from the pair (5) and the slope (-2) and the x from the pair (-2) into the slope-intercept equation to equal 5 = -2(-2) + b. Since you don't know b (the y-intercept) leave it blank and solve like a one step equation! (steps in the picture). And there you have it, the slope is -2 and the y-int is 1!

For D, it's like C, but you dont have the chart. Use subtraction to find the slope. Change in y over change in x (which means subtract the y values and divide them by the difference in x values). So. You'd do 0 - 3 over -6 - 3 which equals -3 over -9, which simplifies to 1/3. And that's your slope! So to find the y-int just do the same thing you did in the last problem, plug in an ordered pair and the slope into the slope-intercept equation and solve as a one step equation (steps in picture). And there you have it, the slope which is 1/3, and the y-int which is 2.

So,

If the number in the ten-thousandth's place is greater than or equal to 5, then round up.  If not, round down.

0.1325: Note the 5.  We round up.

0.1325 --> 0.133

Paul is 20 years old. He is four times older than his sister.
attashe74 [19]

Answer: Paul will be 30 years old

Step-by-step explanation:Let the age of her sister be x, then from the given data

=> 4x = 20

=> x = 5 years

The age of her sister is 5 years

In the second case, paul is twice as old as his sister

=> Age of paul = 2(x)

=> Age of paul = 10 years

Paul will be 10 years old when he is twice as old as his sister
