Use the Product Rule to Calculate the Probability (P) of Two

question 70

Multiple Choice

Use the product rule to calculate the probability (P) of two independent events, X and Y, both occurring.

• A) P = P(X²) + P(Y²)
• B) P = P(X²) x P(Y²)
• C) P = P(X) x P(Y)
• D) P = P(X) + P(Y)
• E) P = (P(X) + P(Y))²

Definitions:

Average Total Cost

The total cost of production divided by the quantity of output produced, representing the cost per unit of output.

Long Run

A period during which all inputs, including capital and labor, can be adjusted by firms. It is characterized by the flexibility of adjusting to conditions without any fixed constraints.

Average Costs

It's the cost associated with producing each unit, found by dividing the entire production expenses by the number of units produced.

Returns to Scale

The rate at which output increases as inputs are increased proportionally, indicating how efficiently larger production scales affect production volume.
