A civics teacher asked her students to indicate whether they believed each of two headlines. One headline was false and the othe

r was true, but the students did not know this. The probability that a student selected at random believed the true headline was 90\%90%90, percent and the probability that the student believed the false headline was 82\%82%82, percent. She found that 75\%75%75, percent of the students believed both headlines.

Answer:

The events are not mutually exclusive.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine that in the sample, are the events "believed the false headline" and "believed the true headline" mutually exclusive.

For two events, let say E₁ and E₂ are said to be mutually exclusive if they cannot both occur simultaneously. In set-theoretical notation, we can say that the two sets  E₁ and E₂ are disjoint. i.e.  E₁ ∩  E₂ = ∅ and the probability of them occurring at the same time is zero. i.e. Pr(  E₁ ∩  E₂ ) = 0

So, we can say;

Let P(true) = E₁  

P(false) = E₂

Thus; statistically:

Pr(  E₁ ∩  E₂ ) = Pr(E₁) + Pr(E₂) - P( E₁  ∪ E₂ )

So;

the probability of students that believed the true headline P(E₁) = 0.90

the probability of students that believed the false headline P(E₁) = 0.82

the probability of students that believed both P( E₁  ∪ E₂ ) = 0.75

∴

Pr(  E₁ ∩  E₂ ) = 0.90 + 0.82 - 0.75

Pr(  E₁ ∩  E₂ ) = 0.97

Thus, the events are not mutually exclusive.

What is the distance between points A and B on the coordinate plane?
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

use pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a = 6, b = 8

6^2 + 8^2 = c^2

100 = c^2

c = -10

since it cant really be negative, the distance becomes 10.

A college some completed some courses worth 3 credits and some courses worth 4 credits. The students earned a total of 59 credit
Law Incorporation [45]

The student completed 13 courses with 3 credit hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total credit hours = 59 credits hours

Total courses = 18

Let,

3 credit hours courses = x

4 credit hours courses = y

According to statement;

x+y=18     Eqn 1

3x+4y=59   Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 3

3(x+y=18)\\3x+3y=54\ \ \ Eqn\ 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(3x+4y)-(3x+3y)=59-54\\3x+4y-3x-3y=5\\y=5

Putting y=5 in Eqn 1

x+5=18\\x=18-5\\x=13

The student completed 13 courses with 3 credit hours.
