ok look here:
P(A) = 1/3
P(B) = 5/9

are these events mutually exclusive??
plz give an explnation too like working and all cz i'm not sure if i'm doing it ryt...

also explain if they are independant events...
and are they exhaustive events...
again with the working and stuff. thanks a lot :)

LOL.. one can't solve it without the data... It can be both... link the question.

C,
for 2 events A n B...
if P(A intersection B)= P(A)*P(B)
then A n B are independent!
If P(A intersection B )=0
then A n B are mutually exclusive!

this is the general explanation!! But like syed1995 i wud say u nid to link d question --- here u hv nt given enough data to graw conclusion u c!

Q9 ii) I can't seem to get the answer, even though I think I'm integrating it right.
We have to integrate x lnx^2
I'm doing it by integration by parts but I don't get the answer as in the marking scheme..
Anyone? Please show me the workings

Q8 ii) I usually don't have problems with iteration but I don't understand what the question is asking and the marking scheme isn't very clear..
Anyone ? What do we have to do ?

you put x=2 in the iterative formula that is given and see what value it converges to
so what i got is 1.86
put 1.86 in the y equation of the graph and you get y as 0.5 :)

Yeah I did this too... but I got 1.89 and when i put it in the y equation I get 0.476.. Is it okay if I round it off to 0.5 then ??

ummmm yeah you put in x as 2 and you get 1.893018......
now you put this value in your equation again and you get 1.867190575
keeping putting the values you get back into the equation till you get a constant answer continuously in this we keep getting 1.85855 which rounds up to 1.86 :)
