let p(a) = 0.6, p(b) = 0.3, and p(a∪b)c = 0.1. calculate p(a∩b).

Answers

Answer 1

The probability of the intersection of events a and b, p(a∩b), is 0.8.

To calculate the probability of the intersection of two events, p(a∩b), we can use the formula:

p(a∩b) = p(a) + p(b) - p(a∪b),

where p(a) is the probability of event a, p(b) is the probability of event b, and p(a∪b) is the probability of the union of events a and b.

Given that p(a) = 0.6, p(b) = 0.3, and p(a∪b)c = 0.1, we can substitute these values into the formula:

p(a∩b) = 0.6 + 0.3 - 0.1.

Simplifying the expression, we get:

p(a∩b) = 0.8.

Therefore, the probability of the intersection of events a and b, p(a∩b), is 0.8.

How many different ways are there to choose a dozen donuts from the 4 varities at a donut shop so that you get atleast one donut of every variety g

Answers

There are 330 different ways for choosing a dozen donuts from the 4 varieties at a donut shop. (at least one donut of every variety must be selected)

How to calculate the number of ways to select items?

There are 'r' items from 'n' different varieties (repetition allowed). Then, the number of ways to select items is given by

The number of ways =  [tex]_{n+r-1}C_r[/tex]

Where the combination [tex]_{n}C_r[/tex] is calculated as

[tex]_{n}C_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}[/tex]

Calculation:

It is given that there are 4 varieties of donuts in a shop. I.e., n = 4

Number of donuts to be selected r = 12 (one dozen)

And also given that at least one donut of every variety has to be selected.

Since there are 4 varieties, at least one from each of these means the count is 4.

So, the remaining number of donuts to be selected is 12 - 4 = 8.

So, r becomes 8 i.e., r = 8

On substituting,

the number of ways of selecting the remaining 8 donuts = [tex]_{4+8-1}C_4[/tex]

⇒ [tex]_{11}C_4[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{11!}{4!(11-4)!}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]\frac{11!}{(4!)(7!)}[/tex]

⇒ 330

Therefore, there are 330 different ways for choosing a dozen donuts from the 4 varieties at a donut shop.

and probability of drawing two blue marble is 1/2 ,1/2.

According to the statement

A bag contains 1 white (W), 3 blue (B1, B2, B3), and 2 red (R1, R2) marbles.

And we have to find the probability of tossing a head and drawing a red marble. and probability of drawing two blue marbles if the first marble is not replaced.

here we solve this problem by Probability

So, Probability of drawing red marble = Number of red marble / total number of marbles.

Probability = 2/6

Probability = 1/3.

Then

Probability of drawing blue marbles = number of blue marbles /total marbles

Probability = 3/6

Probability = 1/2.

1st blue marble Probability =1/2

2nd blue marble Probability = 1-(1/2) = 1/2.

These are non dependent events because they do no affect the probability of each others.

Suppose you roll a 6-sided die and draw a card from a deck
of 52 cards. how many possible outcomes are there?

Answers

Total possible outcomes are 312

We need to find that if you roll a 6-sided die and draw a card from a deck of 52 cards,what are total possible outcomes

Probability is a measure of the possibility that an event will occur. Many events cannot be predicted with absolute certainty. We can only predict the probability that an event will occur, i.e. how likely it is to occur, using it. Probability can range from 0 to 1, where 0 means an event is impossible and 1 means a certain event

An outcome is the result of an event that depends on probability. Probability refers to the likelihood that something will happen, and an event can have more than one possible outcome.

Enumeration of possible outcomes is the process of determining the number of possible outcomes for an event. There are various methods to carry out this process. The best way to calculate the number of possible outcomes of an event depends on the type of event and the structure of the event

If a 6-sided die and draw a card from a deck,

then each side has total possible outcome 52

so, total number of possible outcomes for 6 - sided dice are 52 * 6

= 312

Hence total number of possible outcomes are 312

Answers

Answer:

A. (-1, 3) (3, 2) (-2, 1)

B. [tex]\sqrt{17}[/tex]   [tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex]  [tex]\sqrt{26}[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the midpoints is [tex](\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }2} )[/tex].

MIDPOINTS

[tex](\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }2} )[/tex] = [tex](\frac{4-6}2,\frac{4+2 }2} )[/tex] = (-1, 3)

[tex](\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }2} )[/tex] = [tex](\frac{4+2}2,\frac{4+0 }2} )[/tex] = (3, 2)

[tex](\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2} }2} )[/tex] = [tex](\frac{-6+2}2,\frac{2+0 }2} )[/tex] = (-2, 1)

Next, we will use the distance formula, [tex]\sqrt{(x_{1}-x_{2})^{2} + (y_{1}-y_{2})^{2} }[/tex].

DISTANCE

[tex]\sqrt{(x_{1}-x_{2})^{2} + (y_{1}-y_{2})^{2} }[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{(-1-3)^{2} + (3-2)^{2} }[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{17}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{(x_{1}-x_{2})^{2} + (y_{1}-y_{2})^{2} }[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{(-1+2)^{2} + (3-1)^{2} }[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{5}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{(x_{1}-x_{2})^{2} + (y_{1}-y_{2})^{2} }[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{(3+2)^{2} + (2-1)^{2} }[/tex] = [tex]\sqrt{26}[/tex]  

a. To find the coordinates of endpoints we must add two x values and divide by 2 and then add 2 y- values and divide by 2.

(4-6)/2=-1  (4+2)/2=3

Repeat for other sides.

(2-6)/2=-2 (2+0)/2=1

(2+4)/2=3  (4+0)/2=2

Coordinates of midpoints are (-1,3), (-2,1), (3,2)

b. Now we use the distance formula for each midpoint to find the length of the inner- triangle.

sqrt((-1+2)^2 + (3-1)^2)

Sqrt(5)

Repeat.

Sqrt(17)

Sqrt(26)

The lengths of the inner triangle are as follows:

(-1,3), (-2,1) = Sqrt(5)

(-1,3), (3,2) = Sqrt(17)

(-2,1), (3,2) = Sqrt(26)

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals, so the slope of the line we want to find is -5/3.

Since the y-intercept is (0,-1), the equation is [tex]y=-\frac{5}{3}x-1[/tex]

The equation of the line passing through (0, -1) that is perpendicular to the line y=3/5x-3 is 5x + 3y + 3 = 0.

What is standard equation of the line?

A line of the standard form y = mx + c , where m is the slope of the line and c is a y-intercept. Another way to express the equation for a line is in standard form.

Slope: A line's slope provides information on the steepness and direction of the line.

By figuring out the difference between both the coordinates of the two points, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2), it is simple to calculate the slope of such a straight line through them. The letter "m" denote the slope of the line.

Relation between slope of two perpendicular lines are-

Two perpendicular lines' slopes are the negative reciprocals of one another. This indicates that a line's slope is -1 / m if it's perpendicular to the a line with slope m.

Calculation for the equation of the line.

Consider the given equation;

y=3/5x-3 (compare this with the standard equation)

The slope 'm' is 3/5

Use the relation of slopes of two perpendicular line.

The slope of orthogonal line will be -1/m

Slope = -5/3

Put the slope in the slope point equation of line.

(y - y1) = m(x - x1)

where (x1,y1) = (0,-1)

Substitute the coordinates in the equation

y - (-1) = (-5/3)×(x - 0)

y + 1 = -5x/3

Further simplifying the equation,

5x + 3y +3 = 0

Therefore, the equation of the line passing through (0, -1) that is perpendicular to the line y=3/5x-3 is 5x + 3y +3 = 0.

Answer:

[tex]254 \frac{12}{17}[/tex] or approximately 254.71

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to find out how many gallons it will take to travel 866 miles. Because the car's avg miles/gallon is 13.6, you divide 866 by 13.6. However, this gets you an irrational number. To avoid this, make 13.6 into a fraction. Now divide 866 by [tex]13 \frac{3}{5}[/tex]. This becomes 866 ÷ [tex]\frac{68}{5}[/tex]. Convert this into a multiplication problem by converting [tex]\frac{68}{5}[/tex] into its reciprocal. This gets you 866 × [tex]\frac{5}{68}[/tex]. This gets you [tex]\frac{2165}{34}[/tex].

[tex]x^{2} - 6x - 7 = 0[/tex]

Using middle-term separation,

[tex]x^{2} - 7x + x-7 = 0[/tex]

x(x-7) + 1(x-7)=0

(x - 7)(x + 1) =0

x = 7, -1

x = -1 exists rejected as time exists not negative.

x = 7 exists accepted.

How did the temperature change if :
At first, it increased by 5% and then increased by 20%

So my question is,
What would the process be for solving this (Please answer it in a way a middle schooler can understand!)

Answers

Answer: Net Increase of 26%

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

Explanation:

If it increases by 5%, then we use the multiplier 1.05

Think of it like saying 100% + 5% = 1 + 0.05 = 1.05

Similarly, an increase of 20% means we involve 1.20

Combine those multipliers to get: 1.05*1.20 = 1.26

This is a net increase of 26%

Interestingly, we get fairly close to 25% which is what many students might go for (since 5 + 20 = 25). This is a beginner's trap.

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

An example:

Let's say the temperature is 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit)

An increase of 5% means it moves to 1.05*20 = 21 degrees C

A 20% increase means we go to 1.20*21 = 25.2 degrees C

The shortcut would be to do a 26% increase to get 1.26*20 = 25.2 to help confirm we have the correct combined increase.

Time journey started = 6: 30pm on Monday 6th January

Time taken for journey = 68 hours

24 hours = 1 day

68 hours = 68/24

= 2 days and 20 hours

6;30 pm on Monday 6th January + 2 days and 20 hours

the length of a rectangle exceeds its width by 17 inches, and the area is 18 square inches. what are the length and width of the rectangle

Answers

The length and width of the rectangle are 18 in and 1 in, respectively.

Quadrilaterals

There are different types of quadrilaterals, for example, square, rectangle, rhombus, trapezoid, and parallelogram.  Each type is defined accordingly to its length of sides and angles. For example, in a rectangle,  the opposite sides are equal and parallel and their interior angles are equal to 90°.

The area of a rectangle can be found for the formula : b*h, where b = base and h =height.

For this question, the length exceeds its width by 17 inches - L=W+17. Here, the length is the base and the width is the height. Thus,  from the value of area given, you can find the values of the length and width of the rectangle.

A=b*h

18=(W+17)*W

18=W²+17W

W²+17W-18=0

Solving this quadratic equation, you have:

[tex]w_{1,\:2}=\frac{-17\pm \sqrt{17^2-4\cdot \:1\cdot \left(-18\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}[/tex]

[tex]w_{1,\:2}=\frac{-17\pm \:19}{2\cdot \:1}[/tex]

w1=1 and w2= -18

For dimensions, only positive numbers must be used. Then, the width is equal to 1 inch.

As, the area (l*w) is 18 in², see.

18=l*w

18=l*1

l=18 in
