Answer:

The events "Spike passes chemistry" and "Spike passes mathematics" are not independent.

The probability that he fails both subjects = 0.37

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of Spike passing Chemistry = P(Chemistry) = 0.35

The probability of Spike passing Mathematics = P(Mathematics) = 0.40

The probability of Spike passing both Chemistry and Mathematics = P(Chemistry,Mathematics) = 0.12

For the events "Spike passes chemistry" and "Spike passes mathematics" to be independent, P(Chemistry,Mathematics) should be equal to P(Chemistry) * P(Mathematics)

But P(Chemistry) * P(Mathematics)=0.35*0.40 =0.14

So the two events are not independent.

The Probability that he passes Chemistry or Mathematics is given by P(Chemistry) + P(Mathematics) - P(Chemistry,Mathematics)

= 0.35+0.40-0.12=0.63

So the probability that he fails both subjects is the complement of this, namely (1 - 0.63) = 0.37

Avery uses a blend of dark chocolate and milk chocolate to make the ice cream topping at her restaurant. She wants to buy 10\,\t
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer: she needs to buy 80kg of

dark chocolate and 70kg of milk chocolate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let d represent the number of kilograms of dark chocolate that she buys.

Let m represent be the number of kilograms of milk chocolate that she buys.

She wants to buy 10g more of dark chocolate than milk chocolate. This means that

x = y + 10

She needs 150kg of chocolate in total for her next order. This means that

x + y = 150 - - - - - - - - - - - --1

Substituting x = y + 10 into equation 1, it becomes

y + 10 + y = 150

2y + 10 = 150

2y = 150 - 10 = 140

y = 140/2 = 70

x = y + 10 = 70 + 10

x = 80

Given: ∠BCD is right; BC ≅ DC; DF ≅ BF; FA ≅ FE Triangles A C D and E C B overlap and intersect at point F. Point B of triangle
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

1) ΔCBF ≅ ΔCDF by (SSS)

2) ΔBFA ≅ ΔDFE by (SAS)

3) ΔCBE ≅ ΔCDA by (HL)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Since BC ≅ DC and DF ≅ BF where CF ≅ CF (reflective property) we have;

ΔCBF ≅ ΔCDF by Side Side Side (SSS) rule of congruency

2) Since DF ≅ BF and FA ≅ FE where ∠DFE = ∠BFA (alternate angles)

Therefore;

ΔBFA ≅ ΔDFE by Side Angle Side (SAS) rule of congruency

3) Since FA ≅ FE and DF ≅ BF then where EB = FE + BF and AD = FA + DF

Where:

EB and AD are the hypotenuse sides of ΔCBE and ΔCDA respectively

We have that;

EB = AD from  FE + BF = FA + DF

Where we also have BC ≅ DC

Where:

BC and DC are the legs of ΔCBE and ΔCDA respectively

Then we have the following relation;

ΔCBE ≅ ΔCDA by Hypotenuse Leg (HL).
