An oil exploration company currently has two active projects, one in Asia and the other in Europe. Let A be the event that the A

sian project is successful and B be the event that the European project is successful. Suppose that A and B are independent events with P(A) = 0.5 and P(B) = 0.3. (a) If the Asian project is not successful, what is the probability that the European project is also not successful? Explain your reasoning. Since the events are independent, then A′ and B′ are not independent. Since the events are independent, then A′ and B′ are independent. Since the events are not independent, then A′ and B′ are mutually exclusive. Since the events are independent, then A′ and B′ are mutually exclusive. (b) What is the probability that at least one of the two projects will be successful? (c) Given that at least one of the two projects is successful, what is the probability that only the Asian project is successful? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answer:

0.7 ; 0.65 ; 0.115

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

P(A) = 0.5 ; P(B) = 0.3

P(not successful) = P(B') = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7 ; P(A') = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

1.)

Both events are independent events, hence the outcome of one does not depend on the other. That is the failure of the Asian project has nothing to do with the European project.

Probability that European project isn't successful;

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

2.)

Probability that atleast one of the 2 projects is successful :

P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(AnB)

P(AnB) = P(A) * P(B) = 0.5 * 0.3 = 0.15

P(AUB) = 0.5 + 0.3 - 0.15 = 0.65

3.)

Probability that only the Asian project is successful, given that atleast one of the two projects is successful :

[P(A) - P(AnB)] ÷ P(AuB)

[0.5 * 0.15] ÷ 0.65

= 0.075 ÷ 0.65

= 0.1153846

= 0.115

Bumek [7]

Answer:

Option B) The area to the right of 35.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Data:

Let the probability of the correct answers be denoted by the letter C.

The probability of no more than 35 defective CD's  can be 35 or less. Therefore, it is presented as follows:

P ≤  35

Let, the probability of more than 44 correct answers can be presented like this:

P > 44

Therefore, combining the two inequalities gives an area at the right of 35.5

Which values represent the dependent variable? (2,3) (2,-2) (-4,-2) (-2,2) A. {–4, –2, 2} B. {–4, 2, 3} C. {–4, –2, 3} D. {–2, 2
igomit [66]

The dependent variable is the output of a function, which would be the Y value.


In the given set: (2,3) (2,-2) (-4,-2) (-2,2), the Y value is the 2nd number inside each pair of parenthesis.


The answer would be D. {–2, 2, 3}

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

$R = $500 + $15(t)

Step-by-step explanation:

in this question, we are told to give a mathematical expression that would model the amount of money that is made by Hillel.

from the question, we were made to understand that the amount of money he makes is a front of his time t. that is noted.

and also, he has a base cost of $500.

now, let’s write an equation;

R = $500 + 15(t)

where t represents the length of the performance as suggested by women

A scientist looks at a bacterium and a virus in a lab. The bacterium has a diameter of mc020-1.jpg meters. The virus has a diame
Reil [10]
You can divide the two values A = diameter of bacterium B = diameter of virus A/B = (10^(-6))/(10^(-7)) A/B = 10^(-6-(-7)) A/B = 10^(-6+7) A/B = 10^(1) A/B = 10 Since the ratio of the two diameters is 10, this means that the diameter of the bacterium is 10 times greater than that of the virus.
