Answer:

AB=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Colinear means all points are on the same line. We need to find the measure of AB.

Using the segment addition postulate,

ab+bc=ac

Subsitue this for our known values

$2x + 15 + 9 = x + 17$

Solve for x

$2x + 24 = x + 17$

$x + 24 = 17$

$x = - 7$

Plug this in for AB

$2( - 7) + 15 = 1$

There are three power plants [X, Y, Z] that at any given time each one either generates electricity or idles. Event A is that pl

insens350 [35]

We're told that

$P(A\cap B)=0.15$

$P(A\cup B)^C=0.06\implies P(A\cup B)=0.94$

$P(B\mid A)=P(B^C\mid A)=0.5$

where the last fact is due to the law of total probability:

$P(A)=P(A\cap B)+P(A\cap B^C)$

$\implies P(A)=P(B\mid A)P(A)+P(B^C\mid A)P(A)$

$\implies 1=P(B\mid A)+P(B^C\mid A)$

so that $B\mid A$ and $B^C\mid A$ are complementary.

By definition of conditional probability, we have

$P(B\mid A)=P(B^C\mid A)$

$\implies\dfrac{P(A\cap B)}{P(A)}=\dfrac{P(A\cap B^C)}{P(A)}$

$\implies P(A\cap B)=P(A\cap B^C)$

We make use of the addition rule and complementary probabilities to rewrite this as

$P(A\cap B)=P(A\cap B^C)$

$\implies P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B^C)-P(A\cup B^C)$

$\implies P(B)-[1-P(A\cup B)^C]=[1-P(B)]-P(A\cup B^C)$

$\implies2P(B)=2-[P(A\cup B)^C+P(A\cup B^C)]$

$\implies2P(B)=[1-P(A\cup B)^C]+[1-P(A\cup B^C)]$

$\implies2P(B)=P(A\cup B)+P(A\cup B^C)^C$

$\implies2P(B)=P(A\cup B)+P(A^C\cap B)\quad(*)$

By the law of total probability,

$P(B)=P(A\cap B)+P(A^C\cap B)$

$\implies P(A^C\cap B)=P(B)-P(A\cap B)$

and substituting this into $(*)$ gives

$2P(B)=P(A\cup B)+[P(B)-P(A\cap B)]$

$\implies P(B)=P(A\cup B)-P(A\cap B)$

$\implies P(B)=0.94-0.15=\boxed{0.79}$

liberstina [14]

It sounds like they had $708.88 at the beginning, however by the end of the year they OWED $347.99. The first number is in the positive while the other is a negative. Add the last number to the first number for the amount that they have spent which would be $1,056.87.
