Answer:
k = -6/35
Step-by-step explanation:
To make the function continuous
kx^2 = x+k
These must be equal where the function is defined for two different intervals
This is at the point x=-6 so let x=-6
k(-6)^2 = -6+k
36k = -6+k
Subtract k from each side
36k-k = -6+k-k
35k = -6
Divide by 35
35k/35 = -6/35
k = -6/35
Answer:
19.64
the permieter is 5 so 5/2=2.5 2.5x2.5=6.25 6.25x3.14=19.64
Answer:
8 dollars per pound
Step-by-step explanation:
40 divided by 5 will give you the $/lb
40/5=8 so its $8/lb
Answers:
- (a) Independent
- (b) Dependent
- (c) Dependent
- (d) Independent
========================================================
Explanation:
If events A and B are independent, then the two following equations must both be true
- P(A | B) = P(A)
- P(B | A) = P(B)
This is because the conditional probability P(A|B) means "P(A) when B has happened". If B were to happen, then P(A) must be the same as before. In other words, event B does not affect A, and vice versa.
For part (a), we have P(B) = 1/4 and P(B|A) = 1/4 showing that P(B|A) = P(B) is true, and therefore we can say the events are independent. We don't need the info that P(A) = 1/8.
------------------------
Unlike part (a), part (b) has the answer "dependent" because P(A) = 1/8 and P(A | B) = 1/3 differ in value. Event A starts off at probability 1/8, but then event B occurring means P(A) gets increased to 1/3. The prior knowledge about B changes the chances of A. The P(B) = 1/5 is unneeded.
------------------------
If A and B were independent, then,
P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)
However,
P(A)*P(B) = (1/4)*(1/5) = 1/20
which is not the same as P(A and B) = 1/6. Therefore the two events are dependent.
------------------------
Refer back to part (a)
P(A) = 1/4 and P(A|B) = 1/4 are identical in value, so P(A|B) = P(A) which leads to the events being independent. Whether we know event B happened or not, it does not affect the outcome of event A. P(B) = 1/9 is unneeded.
