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

Assume that triangle GHI is congruent to LMN. Which of the following congruence statement are correct? check all that apply
Airida [17]
If two triangles are congruent, then they have equal corresponding angles and also the sides.
Therefore, if GHI is congruent to LMN, then GH =LM, HI=MN and GI=LN, and also angle G=angle L, Angle H=angle M, while angle I = angle N, therefore the correct answers is a) ∠M= ∠H, c) ∠L=∠G. and e)IH=NM.

Drag each tile to the table to multiply each row heading by<br> each column heading.
Alik [6]

Answer:

Answers are below

Step-by-step explanation:

4t x 5t = 20t²

4t x -4 = -16t

5 x 5t = 25t

5 x -4 = -20

The top left box should be 20t²

The top right box should be -16t

The bottom left box should be 25t

The bottom right box should be -20

Kayla walks 3 2/5 miles each day? wich of the following statements correctly describe how far she walks? a kayla walks 14 2/5 mi
Inessa05 [86]
We inspect each of the choices and determine which among them is the best answer by multiplying the given time frames to the speed given.
(a) (3 2/5 miles/day) x (4 days) = 13.6 miles (wrong)
(b) (3 2/5 miles/day) x (7 days) = 23 4/5 miles (correct)
(c) (3 2/5 miles/day) x (10 days) = 34 miles (correct)
(D) (3 2/5 miles/day) x (31 days) = 105.4 miles (wrong)

Thus, the answers are B and C.

A parallelogram has a base of 9 units and a corresponding height of 2/3 units. What is the area
True [87]
Area or parallelogram = base * height

Area = 9 units * 2/3 units

Area = 9/1 * 2/3 square units

Area = 18/3 square units

Area = 6 square units

Answer: area = 6 square units
