<span>A certain airplane has two independent alternators to provide electrical power. the probability that a given alternator will fail on a one-hour flight is 0.019.  

This is a binomial probability situation, since it's "pass or fail."  The prob. of failure is 0.019.  Since the alternators are separate and independent, the prob. that two will fail is the product of 0.019 and 0.019, or 3.61 to the power -4 of 10.  The latter can also be written as 0.000361.

The probability that one alternator will fail is 1-0.019, or 0.981.
The probability that neither alternator will fail is (0.981)^2=0.9624 (to four decimal place accuracy).

</span><span>What is the probability that at least one fails?  This probability is equal to the complement of the probability that ONE will fail, which on the TI 84 Plus can be calculated as 1-binompdf(2,0.981,0), which comes out to 0.000361. </span>

Jessica was given the area and the length of the base of a triangle. A = 17.5 units, b = 5 units. She solved the formula for are
pychu [463]

Answer:

She messed up the equation, A= B x h, she changed it midway, and also, you need to add the one half to make the equation valid

Step-by-step explanation:

A=1/2 x b xh

17.5 = 1/2 x 5 x h

35=5h     (multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of one half)

35/5 = 5h/5

7=h

The height of the triangle is 7 units

Pls help me ill mark you brainliest and show your work please
dexar [7]

Answer:

Infinately many solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-4=2(x-2)

Distribute

2x-4=2*x-2*2

2x-4=2x-4

Since both sides are the same, there are infinately many solutions.

Hope this helps!

Pick a uniformly chosen random point inside a unit square (a square of sidelength 1) and draw a circle of radius 1/3 around the
Tresset [83]

Answer:

the probability is 4/9 (44,44%)

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that each point inside the square is equally probable, then the probability is uniformly distributed in area of the square. Thus

probability = area where condition is true / total area of the square

for a circle of radius 1/3  inside the square ,the area where this condition is satisfied is a square with sides 1-1/3 = 2/3 , thus

probability = (2/3)²/1² = 4/9

thus the probability is 4/9 (44,44%)
