Consider two events such that P(A)=3/4, P(B)=2/5 and P(AnB)=1/3. Are the events A and B independent?

1 answer:

6 0

If P(A) times P(B) is equal to P(A n B), then that shows the events are independent. Otherwise, they are dependent. When I write "A n B", I mean "A intersect B". The intersect symbol looks similar to the lowercase letter n.

P(A)*P(B) = (3/4)*(2/5) = (3*2)/(4*5) = 6/20 = 3/10

Since that result is not the same as P(A n B) = 1/3, this means that the events are not independent. They are dependent events. The answer is choice D

Step-by-step explanation:

A is correct because if the minimum is 29,000 feet, x (the airplane altitutude) must be greater than or equal to 29,000 ft. Since the maximum is 41,000 feet, x must be less than or equal to that number.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If your cake looks done outside but remains uncooked/gooey in the center, it means that its not completely cooked. Always insert a skewer in the center of the cake towards the finishing time to see if it comes out clean. If it doesn't then cook for few minutes more, and check after 5-10 minutes.
