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.

vredina [299]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line is given as:

y = mx + b; where m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept (that is value of y at x = 0).

a) From the graph, we can see that the straight line touches the y axis at $100 in which the temperature is 0 degrees. Therefore the y intercept is:

(0, 100)

b) The slope of the line can be gotten by taking two points that the line passes through. Using the points (0, 100) and (12, 500):

slope(m)=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{500-100}{12-0} =33.3

The function f(t) = 20 sin (pi over 5t) + 12 models the temperature of a periodic chemical reaction where t represents time in h
gregori [183]
The answer for the exercise shown above is the second option, which is: <span>Maximum: 32°; minimum: −8°; period: 10 hours.
 The explanation is shown below:
</span> You can make a graph of the function given in the problem above: f(t)=20Sin(π/5t)+12.
 As you can see in the graph, the maximum point is at 32 over the y-axis, and the minimum is at -8.
 The lenght of the repeating pattern of the function (Its period) is 10.

Sidana [21]

Answer:he was at -50 feet


Step-by-step explanation:

If he is going 25 feet per minute then you do 25x10 winch is 250 to see how far they have been total then since hes at 200 feet now you subtract 250 from 200 and you get your answer

Find the length of MN.<br> A) 7 <br> B) 25 <br> C) 32 <br> D) 39
MrRissso [65]

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer C)

Explanation:

MN + NP = MP

MP = 39

Therefore, 4(x + 5) + 2x + 1= MP

So, 4(x + 5) + 2x + 1= 39

(4x + 20) + 2x +1 = 39

So, (4x + 2x) + (20 + 1) = 39

6x + 21 = 39

Addition changes to Subtraction

So, 6x = 39 - 21

6x = 18

Multiplication changes to Division

x= 18/6

x=3

Therefore MN = 4(x + 5)

So, 4(3 + 5) = 4(8)

4(8) = 32

Therefore, MN = 32

Hope this helps!
