An independent clause is a clause that has a subject and verb and forms a complete thought. Here except option A) other two options dependent. Hence, A) We can go see a movie, or we can get something to eat is a compound sentence.

Answer : 2. "0.95 %"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 0.95 % Explanation: SP of first article = 1000Profit = 30%CP = (SP)x[100/(100+P)] = 10000/13 SP of second article = 1000Loss = 20%CP = (SP)x[100/(100-L)] = 5000/4 = 1250 Total SP = 2000 Total CP = 10000/13 + 1250 = 2019.23 CP is more than SP, he makes a loss. Loss = CP-SP = 2019.23 - 2000 = 19.23Loss Percent = [(19.23)/(2019.23)]x100 = 0.95 %.
Q: Let K and L be events on the same sample space, with P (K) = 0.8 and P (B) = 0.6. Are these two events are disjoint ? 2089 05b5cc6d7e4d2b4197774e6c6

Answer : 2. "= 0.6. Are these two events are disjoint ?
A) TRUE
B) FALSE
Answer & Explanation
Answer: B) FALSE
Explanation: These two events cannot be disjoint because P(K) + P(L) > 1.
P(AꓴB) = P("
Explanation :
Answer: B) FALSE Explanation: These two events cannot be disjoint because P(K) + P(L) > 1. P(AꓴB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(AꓵB). An event is disjoint if P(A ꓵ B) = 0. If K and L are disjoint P(K ꓴ L) = 0.8 + 0.6 = 1.4 And Since probability cannot be greater than 1, these two mentioned events cannot be disjoint.
