Two professors are applying for grants. professor jane has a probability of 0.61 of being funded. professor joe has probability 0.27 of being funded. since the grants are submitted to two different federal agencies, assume the outcomes for each grant are independent. give your answer to four decimal places. a. what is the probability that both professors get their grants funded? give your answer to four decimal places. 0.1647 correct: your answer is correct. b. what is the probability that at least one of the professors will be funded? give your answer to four decimal places. 7153 correct: your answer is correct. c. what is the probability that professor jane is funded but professor joe is not? give your answer to four decimal places.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, if two event and are independent, then

. ( is the probability that the outcome of both event and event are true.)

Since the outcome of these two events are independent,

.

The logic not operator or the prime superscript denotes that an event does not happen.  

.

.

Since the two events and , and are also independent. Probability that neither professor got funded:

.

Probability that at least one professor got funded- in other words, it is not true that neither professor got funded:

.

Similarly, since the two events and , and are also independent. Probability that Jane but not Joe got funded:

.

b. astronomers

= 5

step-by-step explanation:

to find the 15th term substitute n = 15 into the nth term formula

= (- 3 × 15 ) + 50 = - 45 + 50 = 5
