2. An online bookstore sells both print books and e-books (books in an electronic format). Customers can pay with either a gift

card or a credit card.
a. Suppose that the probability of the event "print book is purchased" is 0.6 and that the probability of the event "customer pays using gift card" is 0.2. If these two events are
independent, what is the probability that a randomly selected book purchase is a print book paid for using a gift card?
b. Suppose that the probability of the event "e-book is purchased" is 0.4; the probability of the event "customer pays using gift card" is 0.2; and the probability of the event "e-book is
purchased and customer pays using a gift card" is 0.1. Are the two events "e-book is purchased" and "customer pays using a gift card" independent? Explain why or why not.

Answer:

a.0.12

b. Dependent

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The two events mentioned here are " print book is purchases" and "customer using gift card". P(P)=0.6 and P(C)=0.2. we have to calculate the probability of print book selection for purchase and payment is made through gift card i.e. P(P∩C). P(P∩C)=P(P)*P(C)=0.6*0.2=0.12.

b. If P(A∩B)=P(A)*P(B), then the two events are independent. Here in the given situation two independent variables are "purchase of e-book" and  "payment made using gift card"

P(E)=0.4

P(G)=0.2

P(E and G)=P(E∩G)=0.1

P(E)*P(G)=0.4*0.2=0.08 that is not equal to 0.1. So, the two events "e-book is purchased" and "Payment made by customer using gift card" are not independent.

2. Cement has a density of 3.0 g/cm3. You must pour a cement walkway with the
Anon25 [30]

For this case we have to by definition:

d = \frac {M} {V}

Where:

d: It is the density

M: It's the mass

V: It is the volume

According to the data we have to:

d = 3.0 \frac {g} {cm ^ 3}

On the other hand we have that 1 meter is equivalent to 100 centimeters. Thus the measurements of the walkway are:

600 cm long, 100 cm wide and 10 cm thick. Looking for the volume we have:

V = 600 * 100 * 10\\V = 600,000 cm ^ 3

According to the formula we have:

M = d * V\\M = 3.0 \frac {g} {cm ^ 3} * 600,000 cm ^ 3\\M = 1,800,000g

Thus, the mass of the walkway is 1,800,000g

Answer:

1,800,000g

Interest calculated on a balance every three months is said to be compounded quarterly.
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The year is typically divided into equal different lengths of time. There are, for example, quarters, which divide the year by 4, i. e., in 4 periods of 3 months each. Other example are semesters, in this case, the year is divided into 2 periods of 6 months each. Taking this into account, an interest calculated on a balance every three months is compounded quarterly.
