What is a complementary event?

2 answers:

6 0

Two events are said to be complementary when one event occurs if and only if the other does not. The probabilities of two complimentary events add up to 1. For example, rolling a 5 or greater and rolling a 4 or less on a die are complementary events, because a roll is 5 or greater if and only if it is not 4 or less.

Answer:

In probability theory, the complement of any event A is the event [not A], i.e. the event that A does not occur. The event A and its complement [not A] are mutually exclusive and exhaustive.

Answer:

-4 3/4

Step by step explanation:

point D is 4 numbers to the left of the 0, meaning it is a negative 4. Then there is also a 3/4 of space between the 4 and point D, meaning point D is -4 3/4 away from 0.

Its fairly straightforward. Since the bottom equation only has one unknown,x, because y=1.3, you can plug y in and solve for x. Once you find the value of x, you then have the value for two variables, x and y, and again have one unknown coefficient a. To solve for the coefficient you just plug in your y value (1.3) and your x value (which can be rounded to 0.42). Using a little bit of algebra, you can then solve for a which should be a=2.108. I am not sure if your teacher wants you to solve it this way but you could also use the elimination method or substitution method that you would of learned when discussing system of equations. But no matter which way you do it, the math follows the rules. Hope this helps. I’d suggest you solve it yourself to double check my work.

| 9. The distance between Town A and Town B was 108 km. A car and a van left Town A at 12 00 for Town B. On reaching Town B, the

Westkost [7]

Answer:

a) Time until both vehicles meet is 1.5 hours after starting at noon. That makes it 1:30PM.

b) Average speed of car is 84 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

A -----------------------z------------B

Left Speed(km/h) Time

Car: 12PM X

Van: 12PM 60

Car/Van

DistanceCar AB + z

DistanceVan Az

Ratio: (AB+z)/Az = 7/5

Time until both meet = T (in hours)

Distance Car: xT

Distance Van: 60T

====

xT = AB + z

60T = Az

---

(xT/60T)= (7/5)

x = 60(7/5)

x = 84 km/h

=====

Time for car to reach B is: time (hr) = 108 km/(84 km/h)

time = 1.286 hours

Distance for at 1.289 hours is: distance (km) = (60 km/h)*(1.286 h)

distance = 77.14 km

At 1.286 hours, the car reverses direction. The van is (108 km - 77.14 km) or 30.86 km away.

Add the distances travelled by both vehicles after the car reverses direction at 1.286 hours. The sum will be 30.86 km when they meet, at time of T.

Car Distance + Van Distance = 30.86 km

T(84 km/h) + t(60 km)

They meet when they are 0 km apart, which can be modeled with the following equation:

Van travel Distance - Car Travel Distance = 0 starting at 1.286 hr.

Let t be the time after 1.286 hours that both vehicles meet/collide.

t*(60 km/h) + t(84 km/h) = 30.86 km

t(60+84) = 30.86 km

t(144 km/h) = 30.86 km

t = 0.2143 hr

Total time until the car and van meet is 1.286 hr + 0.2143 hr for a total of 1.50 hours.

=================

a) Time until both vehicles meet is 1.5 hours after starting at noon. That makes it 1:30PM.

b) Average speed of car is 84 km/h

==============

CHECK

Is the ratio of the distance travelled by the car and the van until they meet in the ratio of 7/5?

Car distance is (1.5 hr)(84 km/h) = 126 km

Van distance is (1.5 hr)(60 km/h) = 90.0 km

Ratio is 126/90 or 1.4

Ratio of 7/5 is 1.4

YES
