If 80% of scheduled flights actually take place and cancellations are independent events, what is the probability that 3 separat

We are given that 80% of scheduled flights really take place, therefore this means that:

Probability of flying = 80% = 0.80

 

Now in statistics class, we know that the probability of two or more independent events to occur is simply equivalent to the product of their probabilities, or mathematically written as: (P = Probability)

total P = P1 * P2 * P3 *...

 

In this case, since we are to find for the probability that 3 independent flights will occur, therefore the total probability assuming equal probabilities to fly is:

total probability = 0.80 * 0.80* 0.80

total probability = 0.512

or

total probability = 51.20%

 

This means that there is only a 51.20% chance for 3 flights to occur.

Find an equation in standard form of the parabola passing through the points (1, -2), (2,-2), (3,-4)
Yuliya22 [10]
The standard form of a parabola is y=ax²+bx+c
use the three given points to find the three unknown constants a, b, and c:
-2=a+b+c............1
-2=4a+2b+c......... 2
-4=9a+3b+c...........3
equation 2 minus equation 1: 3a+b=0..........4
equation 3 minus equation 2: 5a+b=-2.........5
equation 5 minus equation 4: 2a=-2, so a=-1
plug a=-1 in equation 4: -3+b=0, so b=3
Plug a=-1, b=3 in equation 1: -2=-1+3+c, so c=-4
the parabola is y=-x²+3x-4

double check: when x=1, y=-1+3-4=-2
when x=2, y=-4+6-4=-2
when x=3, y=-9+9-4=-4
Yes.
