Answer:

small number = -3

large number = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose two numbers are x and y

smaller number = x

larger number = y

Given that,

The difference of two numbers is 15

<h2>Equation 1</h2><h3>y - x = 15</h3>

Five times the smaller is the same as 9 less than twice the larger.

<h2>Equation 2</h2><h3>5x = 9 - 2y</h3>

Solve them

-x = 15 - y

x = y -15

put value of x in equation 2

5(y - 15) = 9 - 2y

-75 + 5y = 9 - 2y

-75 - 9 = -2y - 5y

-84 = -7y

y = 84/7

y = 12

x = 12 - 15

x = -3

If A and B are independent events, P(A) = 0.25, and P(B) = 0.3, what is P(AB)?

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

$P(A) = 0.25, P(B= 0.3$

And if we want to find $P(A \cap B)$ we can use this formula from the definition of independent events :

$P(A \cap B) =P(A) *P(B) = 0.25*0.3= 0.075$

And the best option would be:

$P(A \cap B) =0.075$

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following events A and B and we also have the probabilities for each one given:

$P(A) = 0.25, P(B= 0.3$

And if we want to find $P(A \cap B)$ we can use this formula from the definition of independent events :

$P(A \cap B) =P(A) *P(B) = 0.25*0.3= 0.075$

And the best option would be:

$P(A \cap B) =0.075$
