The probability that event A happens is 0.45. The probability that event B happens is 0.35. The probability that at least one of these two events happens is 0.70. What is the probability: (a) that A happens but B does not? (b) exactly one of the two events happens? (c) that event A happens given that event B does not happen?

a.) The probability that A happens but B does not is 0.35

b.) The probability exactly one of these two events happens is 0.6

c.) The probability that event A happens given that event B does not happen is 0.5385.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that event A happens , p(A) = 0.45

The probability that event B happens, p(B) = 0.35

The probability that at least one of these two events happens, P(A∪B) = 0.7

a.) The probability that A happens but B does not is  

        = p(A ∩ B')

        = p(A) - p(A ∩ B)

        = 0.45 - {p(A) + p(B) - p(A∪B)}

        = 0.45 - {0.45 + 0.35 - 0.7}

        = 0.45 - 0.1

        = 0.35

b.) the probability exactly one of these two events happens

    = p(A∩B') + p(A' ∩ B)

    = P(A) + p(B) - 2p(A∪B)

    = 0.45 + 0.35 - (2×0.1)

    =  0.6

c.) the probability that event A happens given that event B does not happen

    = p( A | B' )

y=1/2x

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the slope of the line

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

We can use any two of the points since we are told it is a line

   = (3-0)/(6-0)

   =3/6 =1/2

We know that the y intercept is 0  since when x=0, y=0

The slope intercept form of the equation is

y = mx+b  

m=1/2 and b=0

y = 1/2x
