Given that P(A)=0.5 and p(AUB)=0.6 find the P(B) if P(A/B) =0.4?

1 answer:

4 0

First we have to find p(AnB)
P(A/B)=p(AnB)/p(A)
P(AnB)=p(A) x p(A/B)
P(AnB)=0.5 x 0.4 = 0.2
Then to find p(B)
P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

P(A∪B) = 0.5+p(B)-0.2
0.6=0.3+p(B)
P(B)=0.6-0.3=0.3

John and Beth plan to visit a bookstore. Based on their previous visits to this bookstore, the probability distributions for the

lora16 [44]

Answer:

D) 0.1250

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P(J) = Probability of John to purchase 0 books

Let P(B) = Probability of Beth to purchase 0 books

P(J∩B) = Probability that both john and Beth will purchase 0 books .ie. a total of 0 books is purchased.

Since the decisions to purchase books are two independents events,

P(J∩B) = P(J) * P(B)

P(J) = 0.5

P(B) = 0.25

P(J∩B) = 0.5 * 0.25

P(J∩B) = 0.125

What is the value of a in the polynomial

Alexandra [31]

Answer: a= 16

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following expression:

$(y-4)(y^2 +4y +16)$

To find the value of the coefficient "a" you must use the distributive property to multiply the expression:

$(y-4)(y^2 +4y +16)$

until you transform it to the form:

$y^3 +4y^2 +ay -4y^2 -ay-64$

Then we have

$(y-4)(y^2 +4y +16)\\\\(y^3 +4y^2 +16y -4y^2 -16y-64)\\\\$

Therefore the value of a in the polynomial is 16

The Cooking Club made some pies to sell during lunch to raise money for an end-of-year banquet. The cafeteria contributed three

Alex73 [517]

7x13=91 meaning 13 pies were made in total. Since the cafeteria contributed 3 we can subtract 3 from 13. Ultimately meaning that the club contributed 10 pies.

The answer is 10.
