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.

1. Solve for w in the equation W/5 = 25<br> A.W = 5<br> B.W = 125<br> C. W = 30<br> D.W = 20
vekshin1

Answer: <em>w = 125</em>

Explanation: Since <em>w</em> is being divided by 5, to solve for <em>w</em>,

multiply both sides of the equation by 5.

On the left side, the 5's will cancel

and on the right side, 25(5) is 125.

So <em>w = 125</em>.

<u />

<u>Please do not do this problem in your head.</u>

Show the work that it takes to get <em>w</em> by itself.

How do you solve this? cosθ-tanθcosθ=0
laila [671]
First, lets note that tan(\theta)\cdot cos(\theta)=sin(\theta). This leads us with the following problem:

cos(\theta)-sin(\theta)=0

Lets add sin on both sides, and we get:

cos(\theta)=sin(\theta)

Now if we divide with sin on both sides we get:

\frac{cos(\theta)}{sin(\theta)}=1

Now we can remember how cot is defined, it is (cos/sin). So we have:

cot(\theta)=1

Now take the inverse of cot and we get:
\theta=cot^{-1}(1)=\pi\cdot n+ \frac{\pi}{4} , \quad n\in \mathbb{Z}

In general we have cot^{-1}(1)=\frac{\pi}{4}, the reason we have to add pi times n, is because it is a function that has multiple answers, see the picture:
