Of the last 16 trains to arrive at Yardley Station, 14 were on time. What is the experimental probability that the next train to
1 answer:
Answer:
The experimental probability that the next train to arrive will be on time is P(T) = = 0.875
Step-by-step explanation:
Experimental Probablity is based on the experiments which we have performed in the past. In this case, of the total number of trains (16), the total number of trains which arrived on time is (14). So the probablity tat the next train to arrive will be on time would be calculated as:
=
= 0.875

The depth of the swimming pool that is filled to the top is; 4 m
<h3>Snell's Law</h3>
I have attached a schematic diagram showing this question.
The correct width of the pool is 4 meters. Thus; w = 4 m
Incident Angle; θ₁ = 20°
A right angle is 90° and so the angle θ₂ is calculated from;
θ₂ = 90° - θ₁
θ₂ = 90° - 20°
θ₂ = 70°
We can use snell's law formula to find θ₃.
Thus;
n₁sinθ₂ = n₂sinθ₃
where;
n₁ is refractive index of air = 1
n₂ is refractive index of water = 1.33
Thus;
1*sin 70 = 1.33*sin θ₃
sin θ₃ = (sin 70)/1.33
Solving this gives;
θ₃ = 44.95°
By usage of trigonometric ratios we can find the depth of the pool using;
w/d = tan θ₃
Thus;
d = w/(tan θ₃)
d = 4/(tan 44.95)
d ≈ 4 m
