Two events are said to be independent when the occurence of one event does not in any way affects the occurence of the other event.
For independent events, the probablilty of event A happening given that event B has happened is given by the probability of event A happening.
i.e. P(a | b) = P(a).
Therefore, given that p(a) = 0.05 and P(b) = 0.65, then p(a | b) = p(a) = 0.05.
Answer:
-15.875
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we can sum up the first 5 terms.
-8 + (-4) = -12
-12 + (-2) = -14
-14 + (-1) = -15
-15 + (-1/2) = -15.5
Next, we can find a pattern in the data. We can tell that the next number is one half of the current number. For example, -4 is one half of -8. To find the next number, we simply multiply our current number by one half. Thus, the sixth number is -1/4 and the seventh is -1/8. Adding these to our current total, we have
-15.5 - 1/4 = -15.75
-15.5 - 1/8 = -15.875 as our answer
You would add 5 and 1.2 which gives you 6.2 then you add negative 3.6 which then gives you 3.6.
