Distance flying in an horizontal line

Then verttical ascend is 160 feet

because law of proportionality applies

How many feet is 1 mile= 5280

Then now find proportionality between

5280/1000 = 5.28

its the same proportionality between

Ascend/ 160

because vertical proportion= horizontal proportion

Then Ascend should be = 5.28 times 160 = 844.8

Answer:

36.58% probability that one of the devices fail

Step-by-step explanation:

For each device, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it fails, or it does not fail. The probability of a device failling is independent of other devices. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

A total of 15 devices will be used.

This means that n = 15

Assume that each device has a probability of 0.05 of failure during the course of the monitoring period.

This means that p = 0.05

What is the probability that one of the devices fail?

This is P(X = 1)

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 1) = C_{15,1}.(0.05)^{1}.(0.95)^{14} = 0.3658

36.58% probability that one of the devices fail

The length of a rectangle with area 38 in2 depends on its width. Write the formula that describes the length of the rectangle as
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

L = 38/W

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is computed by multiplying length by width. For length L and width W in inches, your rectangle has area ...

A = LW

38 = LW

Then the length can be found by dividing the equation by W:

L = 38/W
