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.

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

y = 4x + -9

Step-by-step explanation:

The y intercept which is -9, is the point in which the graph crosses the x-axis

In order to find the slope we need to identify two clear points on the graph.

- (0, -9)

- ( 1, -5)

Now that we have our two points we need to find the distance between them.

As you can see on the attachment the distance between the two points is 4 units up and 1 unit to the right, therefore the slope is 4/1 = 4.

Final Answer: y = 4x + -9

A cube's side measures 6xy inches whet is the volume
liubo4ka [24]
For a cube, V = s^3.

The volume is the cube of the side length.

V = s^3

V = (6x^6y^8)^3

To raise a product to an exponent, raise each factor to the exponent.

V = (6^3) \times (x^6)^3 \times (y^8)^3

To raise a power to a power, multiply powers.

V = 216x^{18}y^{24}

X^2+11x+30 ?????????????????????
kari74 [83]

Solution:

X^2+11x+30

=X^2+(6+5)x+30

=X^2+6x+5x+30

=X(x+6)+5(x+6)

=(X+6)(x+5).

So,the answer is (x+6)(x+5).
