Answer:

P(A \cap B) \neq P(A)P(B), which means that the two events “kids eating pizza” and ”kids eating tacos” are not independent events

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent events:

Two events, A and B are independent, if:

P(A \cap B) = P(A)P(B)

In this problem:

Event A: Pizza for lunch

Event B: Tacos for luch

15% chance of kids having pizza and tacos together for lunch.

This means that P(A \cap B) = 0.15

20% chance of kids having tacos for lunch

This means that P(B) = 0.2

55% chance of kids having pizza for lunch

This means that P(A) = 0.55

So

P(A)P(B) = 0.55*0.2 = 0.11

P(A \cap B) \neq P(A)P(B), which means that the two events “kids eating pizza” and ”kids eating tacos” are not independent events

Ethan sells e candy bars for $2.50 apiece and Chloe sells c candy bars for $2.00 apiece to raise
natta225 [31]
2.50x = Ethan’s total sold -6 (15/2.50=6)
2x = Chloe’s total sold
2.50(12) = 30 - 6 = 24
2(12) = 24
They both sold 12 candy bars

Which statements are true of the function f(x) = 3(2.5)x? Check all that apply.
Neporo4naja [7]
For this case we have a function of the form:
 y = A * (b) ^ x&#10;
 Where,
 A: initial amount
 b: growth rate (for b> 1)
 x: independent variable
 y: dependent variable
 We then have the following function:
 f (x) = 3 (2.5) ^ x&#10;
 Using the definition, the following statements are correct:
 1) The function is exponential
 2) The function increases by a factor of 2.5 for each unit increase in x
 3) The domain of the function is all real numbers

At an ocean-side nuclear power plant, seawater is used as part of the cooling system. This raises the temperature of the water t
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

(a1) The probability that temperature increase will be less than 20°C is 0.667.

(a2) The probability that temperature increase will be between 20°C and 22°C is 0.133.

(b) The probability that at any point of time the temperature increase is potentially dangerous is 0.467.

(c) The expected value of the temperature increase is 17.5°C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = temperature increase.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a continuous Uniform distribution, distributed over the range [10°C, 25°C].

The probability density function of <em>X</em> is:

f(X)=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{25-10}=\frac{1}{15};\ x\in [10, 25]} \atop {0;\ otherwise}} \right.

(a1)

Compute the probability that temperature increase will be less than 20°C as follows:

P(X

Thus, the probability that temperature increase will be less than 20°C is 0.667.

(a2)

Compute the probability that temperature increase will be between 20°C and 22°C as follows:

P(20

Thus, the probability that temperature increase will be between 20°C and 22°C is 0.133.

(b)

Compute the probability that at any point of time the temperature increase is potentially dangerous as follows:

P(X>18)=\int\limits^{25}_{18}{\frac{1}{15}}\, dx\\=\frac{1}{15}\int\limits^{25}_{18}{dx}\,\\=\frac{1}{15}[x]^{25}_{18}=\frac{1}{15}[25-18]=\frac{7}{15}\\=0.467

Thus, the probability that at any point of time the temperature increase is potentially dangerous is 0.467.

(c)

Compute the expected value of the uniform random variable <em>X</em> as follows:

E(X)=\frac{1}{2}[10+25]=\frac{35}{2}=17.5

Thus, the expected value of the temperature increase is 17.5°C.

Let d(t) be the total number of miles Joanna has cycled, and let t represent the number of hours after stopping for a break duri
katrin [286]
For this case we have the following equation:
 d (t) = 12t + 20&#10;
 The variables are:
 t: time in hours
 d (t): distance traveled in miles.
 We evaluate the distance traveled after 4 hours.
 So we have that for t = 4:
 d (4) = 12 (4) +20&#10;&#10;d (4) = 48 + 20&#10;&#10;d (4) = 68
 Answer:
 
d (4) = 68
 
This means that after 4 hours Joanna cycled for 68 miles total
