12.7
Using the Pythagorean theorem, you can easily calculate the length of BC.
So:
BC = sqrt(12^2 - 6^2) = sqrt(144 - 36) = sqrt(108) = 10.39230485
Now consider triangle BCD. You know all three angles and one side. Using the law of sines you know that ratio of the sine of each angle over the opposite side is constant. So:
BC/sin(55) = CD/sin(90)
BC/sin(55) = CD/sin(90)
sin(90)BC/sin(55) = CD
1*BC/sin(55) = CD
BC/sin(55) = CD
10.39230485/0.819152044 = CD
12.68666167 = CD
12.7 = CD

Suppose two events A and B are mutually exclusive, with P(A) ≠ 0 and P(B) ≠ 0. By working through the following steps, you'll se

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that two events A and B are mutually exclusive.

$A\cap B=\phi$

$P(A\cap B)=0$

$P(A)\neq 0$

$P(B)\neq 0$

a.For mutually exclusive events,

$P(A/B)=\frac{P(A\cap B)}{P(B)}=\frac{0}{P(A)}=0$

Therefore, event A can not occurred if event B has occurred because two events can not occur together.

Answer:No, by definition mutually exclusive events cannot occur together.

b.When two events are independent

Then , $P(A\cap B)=P(A)\cdot P(B)$

$P(A/B)=\frac{P(A)\cdot P(B)}{P(B)}=P(A)$

If two events are mutually exclusive then

$P(A\cap B)=0$

Then , $P(A/B)=0$

Therefore, $P(A/B)\neq P(A)$

Hence, we can concluded that events A and B are not independent if they are mutually exclusive.

Answer:Yes, $P(A/B)\neq P(A)$

Give the values of a, b, and c needed to write the equation's general form.. (5 + x)(5 - x) = 7. A = 1; B = 0; C = -18. A = 25;

Licemer1 [7]

The general form of an equation is $A x^{2} +Bx+C=0$ . Solving for (5+X)(5-X)=7 by multiplying the factors and subtratcting 7 on both sides gives the equation $x^{2} -18=0$ , so
A = 1
B = 0
C = -18

You are downloading songs to your mp3 player the ratio of pop songs to rock songs is 5 to 4 you download 40 pop songs how many r

dmitriy555 [2]

The ratio of pop songs to rock songs you download is 5:4, and 40 are pop songs. You want to find out how many rock songs there are.
First, add the ratios together: 5+4=9. This means that 9 will be your denominator, so 5/9 songs are pop and 4/9 songs are rock.
Now you know that pop songs account for 5/9 of the songs, this means that 40 is 5/9 of the total songs.
To find out how much 4/9 is, you need to divide 40 by 5 to get 1/9 and times that number by 4 to get 4/9:
40÷5=8×4=32 songs are rock songs
