The probability of an economic decline in the year 2020 is 0.23. There is a probability of 0.64 that we will elect a republican president in the year 2020. If we elect a republican president, there is a 0.35 probability of an economic decline. Let "D" represent the event of an economic decline, and "R" represent the event of election of a Republican president. Use this information to answer the following four questions: 1 Are R and D independent events?
2 What is the probability of electing a Republican president and an economic decline in 2020?
3 If we experience an economic decline in 2016, what is the probability that a Republican president will have been elected in 2020?
4 What is the probability of economic decline or a Republican president elected in 2020 or both?

1) D and R are NOT independent events

2) The probability of electing a Republican president and an economic decline in 2020 is 0.224

3) If we experience an economic decline in 2016, the probability that a Republican president will have been elected in 2020 is 0.9739

4) the probability of economic decline or a Republican president elected in 2020 or both is 0.646

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "D" represent the event of an economic decline, and "R" represent the event of election of a Republican president

Given that;

P(D) = 0.23

P(R) = 0.64

Conditional P(D | R) =  0.35

1) Are R and D independent events?

we know that two events A & B are independent events if; P(B | A) = P(B)

here, P(D | R) =  0.35 and P(D) = 0.23

so; P(D | R) ≠ P(D)

Therefore D and R are NOT independent events

2) The probability of electing a Republican president and an economic decline in 2020;

we know that;

P(D | R) = P(D ∩ R) / P(R)

we substitute

0.35 = P(D ∩ R) / 0.64

P(D ∩ R) = 0.35 × 0.64

P(D ∩ R)  = 0.224

Therefore, The probability of electing a Republican president and an economic decline in 2020 is 0.224

3) If we experience an economic decline in 2016, what is the probability that a Republican president will have been elected in 2020?

P(R | D) = P(D ∩ R) / P(D)

we substitute

P(R | D) = 0.224 / 0.23

P(R | D) = 0.9739

Therefore, If we experience an economic decline in 2016, the probability that a Republican president will have been elected in 2020 is 0.9739

4) the probability of economic decline or a Republican president elected in 2020 or both

P(D ∪ R) = P(D) + P(R) - P(D ∩ R)

we subtitute

P(D ∪ R) = 0.23 + 0.64 - 0.224

P(D ∪ R)  = 0.646

Therefore, the probability of economic decline or a Republican president elected in 2020 or both is 0.646

all the angles opposite to the angle 150 would be 150 and all the angles that are next to 150 are 30 because they equal 180 it you add it up.
