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.

The table shows the battery life of four different mobile phones:
Pie

Answer:

A 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Phone Battery Life (hours)

A 20

B 25

C 10

D 18

8.45% of the battery life of each mobile phone is used in a day by a typical user

Calculating Hours of battery life in a day for each mobile

A 20

Battery life for A = \frac{8.45}{100}\times 20 = 1.69hours

B 25

Battery life for B = \frac{8.45}{100}\times 25 = 2.11hours

C 10

Battery life for C = \frac{8.45}{100}\times 10 = 0.845hours

D 18

Battery life for D = \frac{8.45}{100}\times 18 = 1.52hours

Therefor Mobile phone A 20  uses a total of 1.69 hours of battery life in a day
