Answer:

The probability that both A and B occur is P = 0.01

Step-by-step explanation:

Both events A and B have a probability p of occurring.

Then both events A and B have a probability (1 - p) of NOT occurring.

The probability that neither A or B occurs is equal to the product of the individual probabilities, and this is equal to 0.81, then:

(1 - p)*(1 - p) = 0.81

1 - 2*p + p^2 = 0.81

p^2 - 2*p + 0.19 = 0

We can solve this if we use Bhaskara's equation, the two solutions are:

p = \frac{-(-2) +- \sqrt{(-2)^2 - 4*1*0.19} }{2*1}  = \frac{2 + - 1.8}{2}

Then the two solutions are:

p = (2 + 1.8)/2 = 3.8/2 = 1.9

A probability must be a number between zero and one, and this is larger than one, so this solution can be discarded.

the other solution is:

p = (2 - 1.8)/2 = 0.2/2 = 0.1

This means that the probability that event A occurs is p = 0.1

And the probability that event B occurs is p = 0.1

The probability that both events occur is equal to the product of the individual probabilities, which is:

P = 0.1*0.1 = 0.01

Shtirlitz [24]
For this case, the first thing we are going to do is rewrite the equation correctly.
 We have then:
 T = 50 + (N-40) / 4
 We substitute the value of N = 98, we have then:
 T = 50 + (98-40) / 4
 T = 64.5 degrees Fahrenheit.
 Answer:
 the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, T is:
 T = 64.5 degrees Fahrenheit.

Somebody help me lol
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer: 1.03*10^{-1}>3.1*10^{-2}>2.01*10^{-3}>2.32*10^{-4}>4.2*10^{-5}

Step-by-step explanation:

1. A number written in scientific notation has the following form:

a10^{b}

Where is a is a number between 1 and 10 but not including 10, and b is an integer.

2. The negative exponent indicates the number of places the decimal point must be moved to the left to obtain the number as a decimal number.

3. Keeping this on mind, you can know that: if the exponent of a number written in scientific notation indicates that the decimal point must be moved 5 places to the left and another number written in scientific notation indicates that the decimal point must be moved 2 places to the left, then the first number is smaller than the second one.

4. Therefore, you can arrange the numbers given in the problem as following:

1.03*10^{-1}>3.1*10^{-2}>2.01*10^{-3}>2.32*10^{-4}>4.2*10^{-5}
