    If mutually exclusive, prove Pr(A) <= Pr(B')

    I'm having issues proving the following which should be simple: If A and B are mutually exclusive, prove Pr(A) <= Pr(B') From the statement about being mutually exclusive, I know A \cap B = \phi Therefore we have P(A \cap B) = Pr(A) + Pr(B) Also, A = A \cap B' and B = A' \cap B...

    Solving for the Voltages and Currents in a (simple?) Ciruit

    Ok, the first one is wrong. The voltage at point A for figure one should be around 2.62V because this is what I actually measured in the lab. I don't get it, this should just be a simple voltage rule right? How come when I apply it I don't get the right voltage using 5*(1/21) ?

    Engineering Help using superposition to solve (simple?) circuit

    Homework Statement We're learning about superposition in class right now and I'm having some trouble visualizing how to make simplifications using series/parallel connections. I attached the picture of the circuit and we're being asked to solve for the voltages and currents through the...

    Engineering Help solving this (simple?) circuit

    so the 500 and 1k resistors are in parallel i believe? which would give me a 333.3k resistor right? then that equiv resistor is pretty much in series with the 2 k resistor... which would mean the 1mA current is also flowing through the 333.3K resistor, then i could just use ohm's law to get...

    Engineering Help solving this (simple?) circuit

    i attached a picture of a circuit and my question is what is the voltage reading for the the indicated terminals... what I am thinking is that 500 and 2k ohm resistor in series... and then combine that in parallel with the 1k resistor? then use ohms law?
