Suppose 49 percent of the customers at Pizza Palooza order a square pizza, 71 percent order a soft drink, and 38 percent order both a square pizza and a soft drink. Is ordering a soft drink independent of ordering a square pizza? a. Yes
b. No

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

Are both events independent?

Let P(S) be the probability that a customer orders a square pizza.

Convert to decimal

Let P(D) be the probability that a customer orders a soft drink.

Convert to decimal

From the question, we have that:

For events S and D to be independent:

The following condition must be true

Substitute values for P(S and D), P(S) and P(D)

Complete the blank with

Since both sides are not equal, then the events are not independent.

the transverse axis of a hyperbola is the line that contains the two vertices and the two focuses.

in this example (hyperbola of equation x^2/2 - y^2/4 = 1), the transverse axis is the  x-axis  .
