For the given pair of events a and b, complete parts (a) and (b) below.

a. when a baby is born, it is a girl.
b. when a 16-sided die is rolled, the outcome is 1.

a. determine whether events a and b are independent or dependent. (if two events are technically dependent but can be treated as if they are independent according to the 5% guideline, consider them to be independent.)
b. find p(a and b), the probability that events a and b both occur.

(a) Option A. independent

(b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Two events A and B are considered dependent if the occurrence of one affects the probability of occurrence of another.

In this case, the events are independent because the birth of a girl or a boy does not affect the probability of obtaining a 1 by throwing a 16-sided die.

In the same way, throwing a die and obtaining the number 1 does not affect the probability that a baby is a girl or a boy.

When two events are independent then

The probability that a baby is a girl is

The probability of obtaining a 1 when casting a 16-sided die is:

Then:

54 kilometers per hour

step-by-step explanation:

according to rules:

1 km = 1000 meter

which means that 1 meter = 1/1000 km

1 hour = 3600 second [ as 1 hour = 60 min = 60 *60 seconds ]

which means that 1 second = 1/3600 hour

therefore, 1 kilometer/hour =

thus to convert 15 meter per second to kilometer per hour, we multiply 15 to 3.6 kilometer/hour.

15 meter/second=   which is the required answer.

d. 24+-0.114

step-by-step explanation:

the question requires us to calculate the approximate 95% confidence interval for the mean number of ounces of ketchup per bottle in the sample given the following statistics;

sample mean = 24

standard deviation, σ = 0.4

sample size , n = 49

the confidence interval for a population mean is calculated using the formula;

sample mean ± z-score*(σ/sqrt(n))

the z-score associated with a 95% confidence interval, from the standard normal tables, is;

1.96

substituting these values into the formula;

24 ± 1.96*(0.4/7)

= 24 ± 0.112

from the alternatives given, choice d is closest to the above expression;
