If the probability of p(m and n) =0.2 p(m)=0.4 and m and independent events, what is p(n)?

P(n) = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

For two events which are independent, we use the multiplication rule which states P (A and B) = P(A) * P(B). Substitute P(m) = 0.4 and P(m and n) = 0.2 into this formula.

P (m and n) = P(m) * P(n)

0.2 = 0.4*P(n)

Divide by 0.4 on both sides.

0.2 / 0.4 = P(n)

0.5 = P(n)

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752
