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

How do you find a variable to 4-2(v+9)=26

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

V=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify both sides of the equation.

4−2(v+9)=26

4+(−2)(v)+(−2)(9)=26(Distribute)

4+−2v+−18=26

(−2v)+(4+−18)=26(Combine Like Terms)

−2v+−14=26

−2v−14=26

Step 2: Add 14 to both sides.

−2v−14+14=26+14

−2v=40

Step 3: Divide both sides by -2.

−2v

−2

v=−20

If the average(arithmetic mean) of 5 and r is 7 and the average of 3 and s is 3 , what is the average of r and s?

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the values of both r and s, that is

$\frac{5+r}{2}$ = 7 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

5 + r = 14 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

r = 9

and

$\frac{3+s}{2}$ = 3 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

3 + s = 6 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

s = 3

Hence

$\frac{9+3}{2}$ = $\frac{12}{2}$ = 6 → C
