Answer:
The correct option is D.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that events X and Y are two independent events.
Two events are called independent events if the occurrence of one does not affect the probability other. It means
[tex]P(X\text{ and }Y)=P(X)\cdot P(Y)[/tex]
[tex]P(X\cap Y)=P(X)\cdot P(Y)[/tex] ..... (1)
Therefore option C is correct.
We know that
[tex]P(X|Y)=\frac{P(X\cap Y)}{P(Y)}[/tex]
Using equation (1),
[tex]P(X|Y)=\frac{P(X)\cdot P(Y)}{P(Y)}[/tex]
[tex]P(X|Y)=P(X)[/tex]
Therefore option A is correct.
We know that
[tex]P(Y|X)=\frac{P(X\cap Y)}{P(X)}[/tex]
Using equation (1),
[tex]P(Y|X)=\frac{P(X)\cdot P(Y)}{P(X)}[/tex]
[tex]P(Y|X)=P(Y)[/tex]
Therefore option C is correct.
Since options A, B and C are correct, therefore we can say that correct option is D.
Final answer:
If events X and Y are INDEPENDENT, then option C) P(X and Y) = P(X) x P(Y) is correct.
Explanation:
If events X and Y are INDEPENDENT, then option C) P(X and Y) = P(X) x P(Y) is correct.
For two events to be independent, the probability of their intersection (P(X and Y)) must be equal to the product of their individual probabilities (P(X) x P(Y)).
In other words, if X and Y are independent events, the chance of both X and Y occurring is equal to the chance of X occurring multiplied by the chance of Y occurring.

The notation f(x) means you have a function that has been given the name f, and it makes use of the variable x. The variable in the parentheses is called the "argument" of the function f.
(a) To find f(q), you put q everywhere x is in the function equation. This is called evaluating the function for an argument of "q". In the following, note that we have simply changed x to q. (It's really that simple.)
... f(q) = q² -2q +3
(b) As in the previous case, we replace x with (x+h) everywhere.
... f(x+h) = (x+h)² -2(x+h) +3
You can multiply it out, but there appears to be no need to do so for this part of the question.
(c) The intent here is that f(x+h) and f(x) will be replaced by their values and the whole thing simplified. This requires you expand the expression you see in part (b), subtract f(x), collect terms, and divide the whole thing by h. You have to make use of what you know about multiplying binomials.
We can do it in parts:
... f(x+h) = (x+h)² -2(x+h) +3
... = (x² +2xh +h²) + (-2x -2h) +3
Separating the h terms, this looks like ...
... = (x² -2x +3) + (2xh -2h +h²)
Now, we can finish the numerator part of the expression by subtracting f(x):
... f(x+h) -f(x) = (x² -2x +3) +(2xh -2h +h²) -(x² -2x +3)
You can see that the stuff in the first parentheses matches that in the last parentheses, so when we subtract the latter from the former, we get zero. We are left with only the terms containing h.
... f(x+h) -f(x) = 2xh -2h +h²
To finish up this problem, we need to divide this numerator value by the denominator h.
... (f(x+h) -f(x))/h = (2xh -2h +h²)/h
... = (2xh)/h -(2h)/h +h²/h
... = 2x -2 +h . . . . . this is the value of the expression
... (f(x+h) -f(x))/h = 2x -2 +h

Ana took Ali out for lunch. Their lunches cost $13.28 and $14.25, including tax and tip. Ana paid with two $20 bills. How much change did Ana receive?
Answer:
$12.47
Step-by-step explanation:
The total charge was ...
... $13.28 +14.25 = $27.53
The change from 2 $20 bills is ...
... 2 × $20 - 27.53 = $40.00 -27.53 = $12.47
The total cost of lunch is $27.53. Ana paid with two $20 bills, which equals $40.00. After Ana gave the two $20 bills, she received $12.47 in change.
Explanation:The subject area of this question is mathematics, specifically arithmetic involving decimal numbers. To solve this, we first add together the costs of the two lunches, which are $14.25 and $13.28, that result in $27.53. Ana initially pays with two $20 bills, which sums up to $40.00. Now, we subtract the total cost of the lunches from the amount Ana paid with. So, $40.00 - $27.53 gives us $12.47. This tells us that Ana received $12.47 in change back after paying for lunch.

In the figure, what is the area of the shaded region?
Answer:
30 units ^2
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of the shaded region, we find find the area of the large triangle and subtract the area of the unshaded triangle.
A of large triangle = 1/2 b*h
height = (6+3) = 9
The base is found by using the pythagorean theorem c^2 = a^2 + b^2
We need to find b^2
c^2 -a^2 = b^2
taking the square root on each side
sqrt(c^2 -a^2) = sqrt(b^2)
the base = sqrt(c^2 -a^2)
= sqrt( 15^2 - 9^2)
= sqrt(225-81)
= sqrt(144)
=12
Now that we know the base and the height, we can find the area
A of large triangle = 1/2 b*h
= 1/2 * 12 * 9
= 6*9 = 54
Using the rule of similar triangles
9 6
---- = ----------
12 base
We can use cross products to find the base of the smaller triangle
9* base = 12*6
9* base = 72
Divide by 9 on each side
base = 72/9 = 8
Now we can find the area of the smaller triangle
base = 8 and height = 6
A of smaller triangle = 1/2 b*h
= 1/2 *8 * 6
= 4*6 = 24
Area of the shaded region = Area large triangle - Area of small triangle
= 54-24

Why is -0.45, 5/12, 0, 247 rational or an irrational number.
All are rational.
Step-by-step explanation:Any number you can write exactly and completely, or any repeating decimal is a rational number. Any number that can only be written exactly using a symbol, such as π or √2, is an irrational number. Something like √6.25 is rational, because it can be written exactly as 2.5, without the symbol.
The idea of "rational" means the number can be expressed as the ratio of two integers. Any integer can be expressed as the ratio of itself and 1.
All of your numbers can be expressed as the ratio of integers:
... -0.45 = -45/100 . . . . any terminating decimal can be expressed as a ratio of integers by making use of the place value multipliers
... 5/12 . . . . is the ratio of integers

Use the graph below to write 5 conic section equations that create it. Use Desmos to check if your equations produce this picture. Hint: 3 circles, 1 ellipse and 1 parabola
1.The head(red circle)
2. The Left Eye (Blue Circle)
3. The Right Eye (Green Circle)
4. The Mouth (Purple Ellipse)
5. The Body (Black Parabola)
Answer:
See below for the graph.
Step-by-step explanation:
A circle or ellipse can be defined using the same sort of equation. Here, we have chosen to use the formulation ...
... ((x -a)/p)^2 +((y -b)/q)^2 -1 = 0
This will be the general form of the equation for an ellipse with center (a, b) and semi-axes p and q, in the x- and y-directions, respectively. When the axes are the same length, the ellipse is a circle.
By defining the function ...
... c(a, b, p, q, x, y) = ((x -a)/p)^2 +((y -b)/q)^2 -1
we can use the same function for all of the circles/ellipses in the figure. The parabola has vertex (0, -6) and a vertical scale factor of -1, so it can be formulated using the vertex form:
... y = k(x -a)^2 +b . . . . . for vertex (a, b) and vertical scale factor k.
_____
The equations
(x/6)² +(y/6) -1 = 0(x+2)² +(y-2)² -1 = 0(x-2)² +(y-2)² -1 = 0(x/3)² +(y+2)² -1 = 0y = -x² -6Parabola is a plane curve. The iconic character can be made with the following equation as given below,
[tex](x-0)^{2}+(y-0)^{2}=6^{2}[/tex][tex](x+2)^{2}+(y-2)^{2}=1^{2}[/tex][tex](x-2)^{2}+(y-2)^{2}=1^{2}[/tex][tex](\dfrac{x}{3})^{2}+(y+2)^{2}-1=0[/tex][tex]y=-(x-0)^{2}-6[/tex]
We need to draw 3 circles, an ellipse and a parabola, in order to get the desired digram.
For a circle, we only need to know the radius of the circle and the center of the circle,
1. The head(red circle)
The head of the circle is drawn from the origin of the coordinate, while the radius can be found by dividing the length between the points where the circle cuts the x-axis.
[tex]Radius =\dfrac{6-(-6)}{2} = 6[/tex]
Equation of the circle face,
[tex]\text{Equation of the circle face} => {(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2} = 6^2[/tex]
2. The Left Eye (Blue Circle)
3. The Right Eye (Green Circle)
Similarly for the eyes of the diagram,
The right eye = [tex](x-2)^{2}+(y-2)^{2}=1^{2}[/tex]
The left eye = [tex](x+2)^{2}+(y-2)^{2}=1^{2}[/tex]
4. The Mouth (Purple Ellipse)
The equation of the parabola can be written as,
(x/3)² +(y+2)² -1 = 0
5. The Body (Black Parabola)
The parabola can be made using the equation,
Equation of a parabola
y = a(x-h)² + k
where,
(h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex of the parabola in form (x, y);
a defines how narrower is the parabola, and the "-" or "+" that the parabola will open up or down.
Therefore, the equation for the body,
Equation of the parabola = [tex]y = -(x-0)^2 -6[/tex]

The beginning checkbook balance of Gregory Co. was $3,045.58. Their bank statement indicated a balance of $4,262.92. The bookkeeper of Gregory Co. discovered a $220.05 deposit not reflected on the statement and checks numbered 478 and 492 in the amounts of $325.50 and $497.65 still outstanding. The bank credited Gregory’s account for $651.84 for a note that they had collected. The bank charged their account $37.60 for printed checks. Their reconciled balance was (Remember: To reconcile the bank balance with the checkbook balance means to compare the two, make the necessary adjustments (debits and credits) and ensure that the two amounts are equal.)
$3,569.82. $3,659.28. $3,659.82. $6,359.82.
Answer:
$3,659.82
Step-by-step explanation:
Adding to the checkbook those debits and credits not already there brings its balance to ...
... $3045.58 +651.84 -37.60 = $3659.82
Adjusting the bank's balance by the deposits and checks not already there brings its balance to ...
... $4262.92 +220.05 -325.50 -497.65 = $3659.82
Thus, the reconciled accounts will agree on the balance $3659.82.
The reconciled balance for Gregory Co. was $3,659.82 after accounting for all transactions including deposits, outstanding checks, credited note, and bank charges.
The question involves reconciling the checkbook balance with the bank statement balance for Gregory Co. To reconcile the bank balance with the checkbook balance, we need to account for any transactions that have not been reflected in one or the other. We start with the bank statement balance and adjust it for outstanding checks and deposits not reflected on the statement.
Starting balance: $3,045.58Add outstanding deposit: $220.05Subtract outstanding checks: $325.50 + $497.65Add credited note: $651.84Subtract bank charges: $37.60Reconciled balance calculation: $3,045.58 + $220.05 - $325.50 - $497.65 + $651.84 - $37.60 = $3,659.82What is the measure of ∠BCD? Enter your answer in the box. ° quadrilateral A B C D with side A B parallel to side D C and side A D paralell to side B C. angle B is 103 degrees.
Answer:
77°
Step-by-step explanation:
Angles B and C are adjacent angles of a parallelogram, so are supplementary.
... ∠C = 180° -∠B = 180° -103° = 77°
The measure of ∠BCD in a parallelogram with ∠B given as 103° is also 103° because opposite angles in a parallelogram are equal.
Explanation:The measure of ∠BCD in a parallelogram can be found by using the property that opposite angles in a parallelogram are equal.
To find the measure of angle BCD, we can use the fact that angles in a quadrilateral sum up to 360 degrees.
We know that angle B is 103 degrees.
Since quadrilateral ABCD has sides AB and DC parallel, as well as sides AD and BC parallel, it is a parallelogram.
Given that ∠B is 103°, the measure of ∠BCD is also 103° because it is the angle opposite ∠B.

Which rectangular prism has the greatest volume?
Answer: First prism has the greatest volume.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Volume of prism = Length × Breadth × Height
So, we need to find the greatest volume, for which we find volumes of all figures:
1) Volume of prism would be
[tex]5\times 7\times 5\\\\=175\ cm^3[/tex]
2) Volume of prism would be
[tex]10\times 3\times 4\\\\=120\ cm^3[/tex]
3) volume of prism would be
[tex]7\times 7\times 3\\\\=147\ cm^3[/tex]
4) Volume of prism would be
[tex]5\times 3\times 7\\\\=105\ cm^3[/tex]
Hence, first prism has the greatest volume.
The volume of the prism with the Greatest volume is 250cm³
The volume of a prism is calculated by multiplying the prism's base area by its height. Mathematically expressed as
V = Base Area×Height
, it represents the space enclosed within the prism.
Since the prism is a cuboid, then
V = l × w × h
Where h is the height , l is the length and w is the width.
V = 5 × 5 × 10
V = 250 cm³
The volume of the prism is 250cm³

At a farm, there are two huge pits for storing hay. 90 tons of hay is stored in the first pit, 75 tons in the second pit. Then, three times as much hay was removed from the first pit as was removed from the second pit. After that, there was half as much hay in the first pit as there was now in the second pit. How many tons of hay was taken from the first pit?
Answer:
63 tons
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem statement asks for the tons of hay removed from the first pit. It is convenient to let a variable (x) represent that amount. This is said to be 3 times the amount removed from the second pit, so that amount must be x/3.
The amount remaining in the first pit is 90-x.
The amount remaining in the second pit is 75 -x/3.
Since the first pit remaining amount is half the second pit remaining amount, we can write the equation ...
... 90 -x = (1/2)(75 -x/3)
... 180 -2x = 75 -x/3 . . . . multiply by 2
... 105 - 2x = -x/3 . . . . . . subtract 75
... 315 -6x = -x . . . . . . . . multiply by 3
... 315 = 5x . . . . . . . . . . . add 6x
... 63 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5
63 tons of hay were taken from the first pit.
_____
Check
After removing 63 tons from the first pit, there are 27 tons remaining. After removing 63/3 = 21 tons from the second pit, there are 54 tons remaining. 27 is half of 54, so the answer checks OK.

A technician is testing light bulbs to determine the number of defective bulbs. The technician records the table below to show the results. Result of Light Bulb Test Number of Bulbs Tested 14 28 84 336 Number of Defective Bulbs Found 1 2 6 ? The technician expects to find 24 defective bulbs when 336 are tested. Which statement explains whether the technician’s reasoning is correct, based on the information in the table? The reasoning is correct. The ratio of number of bulbs tested to defective bulbs is always 14 to 1. The reasoning is correct. The number of defective bulbs doubles, then triples, so the next number should be four times larger, regardless of the number of bulbs tested. The reasoning is not correct because the technician should have found the difference between 336 and 84, then divided the result by 6.
The reasoning is correct. The ratio of number of bulbs tested to defective bulbs is always 14 to 1.
Step-by-step explanation:We generally expect industrial processes to produce defects at about the same rate, meaning the proportion of defective product is generally considered to be a constant. Here, the proportion of defective bulbs is ...
... 1/14 = 2/28 = 6/84
so we expect it will be also 24/336. That is, the ratio of the number of bulbs tested to defective bulbs is expected to remain constant at about 14.
Answer:
A. The reasoning is correct. The ratio of number of bulbs tested to defective bulbs is always 14 to 1.
