Answers:

(a) Independent
(b) Dependent
(c) Dependent
(d) Independent

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

Explanation:

If events A and B are independent, then the two following equations must both be true

P(A | B) = P(A)
P(B | A) = P(B)

This is because the conditional probability P(A|B) means "P(A) when B has happened". If B were to happen, then P(A) must be the same as before. In other words, event B does not affect A, and vice versa.

For part (a), we have P(B) = 1/4 and P(B|A) = 1/4 showing that P(B|A) = P(B) is true, and therefore we can say the events are independent. We don't need the info that P(A) = 1/8.

------------------------

Unlike part (a), part (b) has the answer "dependent" because P(A) = 1/8 and P(A | B) = 1/3 differ in value. Event A starts off at probability 1/8, but then event B occurring means P(A) gets increased to 1/3. The prior knowledge about B changes the chances of A. The P(B) = 1/5 is unneeded.

------------------------

If A and B were independent, then,

P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)

However,

P(A)*P(B) = (1/4)*(1/5) = 1/20

which is not the same as P(A and B) = 1/6. Therefore the two events are dependent.

------------------------

Refer back to part (a)

P(A) = 1/4 and P(A|B) = 1/4 are identical in value, so P(A|B) = P(A) which leads to the events being independent. Whether we know event B happened or not, it does not affect the outcome of event A. P(B) = 1/9 is unneeded.

Lyme disease is an inflammatory disease that results in a skin rash and flulike symptoms. It is transmitted through the bite of

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cases of Lyme disease = x

x = 2, 1, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 1, 6, 5, 4, 1

$\sum x = 35$

$\sum x^2 = 139$

y = 0, 1, 2, 1, 3, 5, 2, 3, 3, 3, 1, 0

$\sum y = 24$

$\sum y^2 = 72$

$\sum xy = 55$

$S_{xx} = \sum x^2 - (\sum x)^2/n\\S_{xx} = 139 - 35^2/12\\S_{xx} = 36.92\\S_{yy} = \sum y^2 - (\sum y)^2/n\\S_{yy} = 72 - 24^2/12\\S_{yy} = 24$

$S_{xy} = \sum xy - ( \sum x \sum y)/n\\S_{xy} = 55 - (35*24)/12\\S_{xy} = -15$

b) Linear correlation between Lyme disease and drowning deaths.

$r = \frac{S_{xy}}{\sqrt{S_{xx}S_{yy}} }$

r = -15/ √(24*36.92)

r = -0.504

Statements 1 and 2 are true conditional statements.

WARRIOR [948]

The valid conclusion about statement A and statement B is "If Figure A is a parallelogram, then Figure A’s angles sum to 360°".

The correct answer option is option D.

<h3>What is conditional statement?</h3>

A conditional statement can be defined a statement that is written in the form “If A then B,” where A and B are sentences.

For this conditional statement:

Sentence A is called the hypothesis

Sentence B is called the conclusion.

Hypothesis: This is an assumption taken to be true for the purpose of argument or investigation.

Conclusion: This is the proposition that follows as a necessary consequence of the premises in an argument or syllogism.

Hence, “If A then B” means that B must be true whenever A is true.

Therefore, if a figure is a parallelogram, then it is a quadrilateral; If a figure is a quadrilateral, then its angles sum to 360°.

It can be concluded that if a figure is a parallelogram, then it's angles must sum to 360°.

Will Give Brainliest<br> What Matrix Results From B+A

anastassius [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Matrix addition. If A and B are matrices of the same size, then they can be added. (This is similar to the restriction on adding vectors, namely, only vectors from the same space R n can be added; you cannot add a 2‐vector to a 3‐vector, for example.) If A = [aij] and B = [bij] are both m x n matrices, then their sum, C = A + B, is also an m x n matrix, and its entries are given by the formula

Thus, to find the entries of A + B, simply add the corresponding entries of A and B.

Example 1: Consider the following matrices:

Which two can be added? What is their sum?

Since only matrices of the same size can be added, only the sum F + H is defined (G cannot be added to either F or H). The sum of F and H is

Since addition of real numbers is commutative, it follows that addition of matrices (when it is defined) is also commutative; that is, for any matrices A and B of the same size, A + B will always equal B + A.
