Answer:

mutually exclusive

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of interest is ...

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B)

Filling in the given values, we have ...

9/10 = 2/5 + 1/2 - P(A and B)

Solving for P(A and B), we get ...

P(A and B) = 2/5 +1/2 -9/10 = 4/10 +5/10 -9/10

P(A and B) = 0

Events are mutually exclusive when <em>they can never happen at the same time</em>. That is, P(A and B) = 0.

The events A and B are mutually exclusive.

Find the distance between the points (6,5√5) and (4,3√2).<br> 2, 2√2, 2√3

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

D= $\sqrt{(147-30\sqrt{10}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are required to find the distance between two coordinates. We will use the distance formula to find the distance

The distance formula is given as

$D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Here we are given two coordinates as

$(6,5\sqrt{5} ) , (4,3\sqrt{2} )$

Substituting these values in the Distance formula given above we get

$D=\sqrt{(6-4)^2+(5\sqrt{5} -3\sqrt{2}) ^2}$

$D=\sqrt{(2)^2+(5\sqrt{5})^2+(3\sqrt{2})^2-2*5\sqrt{5}*3\sqrt{2}}\\$

$D=\sqrt{4+125+18-2*15\sqrt{10}}\\D=\sqrt{147-30\sqrt{10}}\\$

Hence this is our answer

kemdrick is an ecologist he spends 8 hours on friday how many hours he spending on saturday to average 11 hours per day

Sidana [21]

Answer:

$\boxed{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = hours worked on Saturday

Then x + 8 = total hours on Friday and Saturday

$\text{Average} = \dfrac{ \text{total hours}} {\text{number of days}}\\\\11 = \dfrac{x + 8}{2}$

22 = x + 8

x = 13

Kendrick is working $\boxed{13}$ hours on Saturday.
