Answer:

a) P(B'|A') = P(B') = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3.

The reasoning is that: since, events A and B are independent, then, events A' and B' are also independent and for independent events, P(A|B) = P(A).

b) P(A u B) = 0.82

c) P[(A n B')|(A u B)] = 0.146

Step-by-step explanation:

P(A) = 0.4

P(B) = 0.7

A and B are independent events.

P(A') = 1 - 0.4 = 0.6

P(B') = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3

a) If the Asian project is not successful, what is the proba- bility that the European project is also not successful?

P(B'|A') = P(B') = 1 - 0.7 = 0.3

The reasoning is that: since, events A and B are independent, then, events A' and B' are also independent and for independent events, P(A|B) = P(A).

b) The probability that at least one of the two projects will be successful = P(A u B)

P(A u B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A n B) = 0.4 + 0.7 - (0.4)(0.7) = 0.82

OR

P(A u B) = P(A n B') + P(A' n B) + P(A n B) = (0.4)(0.3) + (0.6)(0.7) + (0.4)(0.7) = 0.82

c) Given that at least one of the two projects is successful, what is the probability that only the Asian project is successful?

P[(A n B')|(A u B)] = }P(A n B') n P(A u B)]/P(A u B) = P(A n B')/P(A u B) = (0.4)(0.3)/(0.82)

P[(A n B')|(A u B)] = 0.146

Hope this Helps!!!

On a coordinate plane, 2 trapezoids are shown. The first trapezoid has points A (negative 1, negative 2), B (1, negative 2), C (
Liula [17]

Answer:

The true statements are:

The rule for the translation can be written as T-3, 1(x, y). ⇒ 1st

The rule for the translation can be written as  (x, y) → (x - 3, y + 1) ⇒ 4th

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise the rule of the translation:

  • If the point (x , y) translated horizontally to the right by h units  then its image is (x + h , y)
  • If the point (x , y) translated horizontally to the left by h units  then its image is (x - h , y)
  • If the point (x , y) translated vertically up by k units  then its image is (x , y + k)
  • If the point (x , y) translated vertically down by k units  then its image is (x , y - k)

The vertices of trapezoid ABCD are:

A (-1 , -2) , B (1 , -2) , C (2 , -5) , D (-2 , -5)

The vertices Of trapezoid A'B'C'D' are:

A' (-4 , -1) , B' (-2 , -1) , C' (-1 , -4) , D' (-5 , -4)

Trapezoid ABCD is translated to form Trapezoid A'B'C'D'

By using the rules of translation above:

∵ A = (-1 , -2) and A' = (-4 , -1)

- The rule of translation is (x , y) → (x + h , y + k)

∵ x = -1 and x + h = -4

∴ -1 + h = -4

- Add 1 to both sides

∴ h = -3

∵ y = -2 and y + k = -1

∴ -2 + k = -1

- Add 2 to both sides

∴ k = 1

The rule of translation is (x , y) → (x - 3 , y + 1)

The trapezoid ABCD has been translated 3 units to the left and 1 unit  up

You can check your answer by doing the same steps with the other 3 vertices you will have the same values of h and k

The true statements are:

The rule for the translation can be written as T-3, 1(x, y).

The rule for the translation can be written as  (x, y) → (x - 3, y + 1)

Drag the values to order them from least to greatest, with the least at the top. Item 2 moved to position 3. 79 − − √ + 63 − − √
Nonamiya [84]

\sqrt{63} \\ \\ \sqrt{79}  \\ \\ \sqrt{143} \\ \\ 4\pi

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

As I understand, in this exercise, we have the following numbers:

\text{Number 1}=\sqrt{79} \\ \\ \text{Number 2}=\sqrt{63} \\ \\ \text{Number 3}=\sqrt{143} \\ \\ \text{Number 4}=4\pi

By using calculator, let's convert those numbers into decimal form:

\text{Number 1} \approx 8.88\\ \\ \text{Number 2} \approx 7.93 \\ \\ \text{Number 3} \approx 11.96 \\ \\ \text{Number 4} \approx 12.56

So arranging from least to greatest we have:

\text{Number 2} \\ \\ \text{Number 1} \\ \\ \text{Number 3} \\ \\ \text{Number 2}

Put another way:

\sqrt{63} \\ \\ \sqrt{79}  \\ \\ \sqrt{143} \\ \\ 4\pi

Resale Value Garland Mills purchased a certain piece of machinery 2 years ago for $500,000. Its present resale value is $420,000
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

260,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The value decreases by 40,000 per year (500000-42000/2 years) the value will decrease by 240000 in six (4 years plus 2 years already passed) years. 6 x 40,000 =240000

So, the value should be 260,000 (500000-240000)

Or

year 1 500000-40000=460000

year 2 460000-40000=420000

year 3 420000-40000=380000

year 4 380000-40000=340000

year 5 340000-40000=300000

year 6 300000-40000=260000

Chester, the dog, loves to eat treats. He has eaten twice as many today as yesterday. He has eaten a total of 15 dog treats in b
stich3 [128]

Answer:

The equations are:

T = 2Y and T + 2Y = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent bones eaten Today with T and yesterday with Y

Required

Write the equation

In the first statement, we have that:

T = 2Y

Reading further; In the second statement

T + 2Y = 15

Hence, the equations are:

T = 2Y and T + 2Y = 15

Solving further:

Substitute 2Y for  T in the second equation

2Y + 2Y = 15

4Y = 15

Divide both sides by 4

Y = \frac{15}{4}

Y = 3.75

Recall that

T = 2Y

T= 2 * 3.75

T= 7.5
