Answer:

They are independent events

Step-by-step explanation:

For independent events;

Pr(A & B) = Pr(A) × Pr(B)

Given that:

A = day is Monday or Wednesday

Since we have four weeks and each week will have one Monday and Wednesday each,

Pr(A) = (8/28)

B = day falls in the first or third week

Since, first and the third week has a total of 14 days,

Pr(B) = 14/28

Therefore;

Pr(A) × Pr(B) = 8/28 * 14/28

Pr(A) × Pr(B)  = 1/7

Now, A and B = day is either Monday or Wednesday, and it is in the first or third week

There are four such days, Thus Pr(A and B) = 4/28 = 1/7

Since, Pr(A and B) = Pr(A) * Pr(B),

A and B are independent events

A quadratic rule for a particular parabola is of the form y = ax^2 + bx. The parabola passes through with the coordinates (-1, 4
Scilla [17]

Answer:

y = (4/7)x² - (24/7)(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

4 = a(-1)² + b(-1)

4 = a - b

0 = a(6)² + b(6)

36a + 6b = 0

b = -6a

4 = a - (-6a)

7a = 4

a = 4/7

b = -24/7

y = (4/7)x² - (24/7)(x)
