13. a dealer has paid 120 for a pair of shoes. he sold
it to a customer at loss of 20%. for how much did
he sell it?
(a) 86
(b) 96
(c) 66
(d) 56

b

Step-by-step explanation: 20% of 120 is 20. You subtract 120 and 24 and you get 96.

c. The probability that A does not occur is 0.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Event A has probability 0.5. Event B has probability 0.6.

If M and N are disjoint sets , the  P(M or N) = P(M) +P(N)

So, if A and B are disjoint sets , then P(A or B)= P(A) + P(B)

= 0.5+0.6

= 1.1 > 1  

And probability cannot be greater than 1.

So, A and B are not disjoint.

If A or B includes all the possible outcomes in the sample space then, P(A) or P(B) should equal to 1 which is not true.

Probability of not E = 1- P(E)

So, . The probability that A does not occur =  1- P(A) = 1-.5= 0.5

So, option is C. correct.

The probability that A does not occur is 0.5.
