The probability of event A and B to both occur is denoted as P(A ∩ B) = P(A) P(B|A). It is the probability that Event A occurs times the probability that Event B occurs, given that Event A has occurred.

So, to find the probability that you will be assigned a poem by Shakespeare and by Tennyson, let Event A = the event that a Shakespeare poem will be assigned to you; and let Event B = the event that the second poem that will be assigned to you will be by Tennyson.

At first, there are a total of 13 poems that would be randomly assigned in your class. There are 4 poems by Shakespeare, thus P(A) is 4/13.
After the first selection, there would be 13 poems left. Therefore, P(B|A) = 2/12
Based on the rule of multiplication,
P(A ∩ B) = P(A) P(B|A)P(A ∩ B) = 4/13 * 2/12
P(A ∩ B) = 8/156
P(A ∩ B) = 2/39

The probability that you will be assigned a poem by Shakespeare, then a poem by Tennyson is 2/39 or 5.13%.

Find the volume of the rectangular prism.<br> 19 cm<br> 9 cm<br> 2 cm
Makovka662 [10]

Answer: 342 cm³

Step-by-step explanation: To find the volume of the rectangular prism, start with the formula for the volume or a prism.

Volume = length × width × height

Since we are not sure what the length, width, or height is in this problem, we can plug any of these numbers in for the length, width, or height. The commutative property of multiplication states that changing the order of the factors does not change the product.

Volume = (19 cm) (9 cm) (2 cm)

Volume = 342 cm³

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 342 cm³.

Each statement describes a transformation of the graph of y = lnx. Which statement correctly describes the graph of y = ln(x - 7
vodomira [7]

Hello!

The parent function, y = ln(x), has a vertical and horizontal translation.

y = ln(x - h) + k | In this equation, h is the vertical shift, and k is the horizontal shift.

If ln(x - k), then the graph is translated right k units.

If ln(x + k), then the graph is translated left k units.

If ln(x) + h, then the graph is translated up h units.

If ln(x) - h, then the graph is translated down h units.

Therefore, the graph of y = ln(x - 7) + 3 is translated 3 units up and 7 units to the right, which is choice D.
