Suppose that A and B are two events in a sample space, S, which are independent and which have equal probability, p, of occurrin

g. Suppose further that the probability that neither A nor B occurs is 0.81. Find the probability that both A and B occur.

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

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of a triangular prism = Area of the triangular sides + Area of the rectangular sides

Area of the triangular sides = 2(Area of the triangular base)

                                              = 2[\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})]

                                              = 10 × 12

                                              = 120 ft²

Area of the rectangular sides = (Perimeter of the triangular side)(Height of the prism)    

= (10 + 13 + 13)(15)

= 36 × 15

= 540 ft²

Surface area of the prism = 120 + 540

                                           = 660 square feet

Option B will be the answer.
