t the first of the month is a Monday. One of the 28 days will be selected uniformly at random (so that each day has probability 1/28 of being selected). Event A is that the selected day is a Monday or Wednesday. Event B is that the selected day falls either in the first or third weeks of the month. Are A and B independent or not? Show your work.

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

Answer:

5 terms, the coefficient of x is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

A term is a value/number used in an equation. That means 5², 6, 2, 20, and 4 are terms. For the next one, if a variable has no number next to it, that means the coefficient is 1.

Answer quickly! It very urgent
ra1l [238]

Answer: Because the graphs of the two equations overlap each other

Step-by-step explanation:

Every point on the first line also satisfies the second equation.

This is the same as equivalent fractions

where 1/2 = 2/4 = 3/6 = 4/8

Graphing these on a number line would only show one dot.
