When there are few data, we often fall back on personal probability. There had been just 24 space shuttle launches, all successf

ul, before the Challenger disaster in January 1986. The shuttle program management thought the chances of such a failure were only 1 in 100,000. Suppose 1 in 100,000 is a correct estimate of the chance of such a failure. If a shuttle was launched every day, about how many failures would one expect in 300 years?

Answer:

  1

Step-by-step explanation:

There are about 110,000 days in 300 years, so the expected number of failures is about 10/11 ≈ 1.

_____

This assumes the launch conditions are identical for each of the launches, or that whatever variation there might be has no effect on the probability. These are bad assumptions.

Nataliya [291]

 Answer: Y-48

<span>If the median of the values in the data set is Y, it means that Y is the value in the middle of the data set. If 48 will be deducted from each of all values in the data set including Y, then the median of the resulting value will be Y-48. </span>

A 100-meter-long christmas train needs 30 seconds to cross a 400-meter-long bridge. assuming the train goes at a steady speed, h
san4es73 [151]
Length of train : 100
length of bridge : 400
distance covered by the train to cross the bridge : (100 + 400) = 500
time taken by the train to cross : 30

speed = distance / time
speed = 500/30
speed = 16.67 meters per second <===

Tameka bought 50 cans of soda ( cola, grape, and orange) to serve at a party. She has 8 more colas than grape sodas, and 3 less
Gwar [14]

Answer:

Orange = 12

Grape = 15

Cola = 23

Step-by-step explanation:

Turning this into equations you can give each soda a variable

Cola = C | Grape = G | Orange = R

Then you get:

8 + G = C

R + 3 = G

C + G + R = 50

We want to get a variable all by itself in an equation so first I'm going to put the second equation (R + 3 = G) in the first (8 + G = C) by replacing the G to get

8 + (R + 3) = C  Combine the variables 11 + R = C and put that new equation into the last equation

(11 + R) + G + R = 50    

Now plug our original second equation (R + 3 = G) into our third to get

(11 + R) + (R + 3) + R = 50    

Combine and get

14 + 3R = 50      Subtract over the 14

3R = 36              Divide by 3

Orange Sodas = 12

Our new 3rd Equation is now:   C + G + 12 = 50, subtract over 12 to get

C + G = 38

Plug either equation 1 or 2 into that one, I'll do 1

(8 + G) + G = 38

8 + 2G = 38

2G = 30

Grape Sodas = 15

Now our 3rd equation is C + 15 = 38, subtract over 15

Cola Sodas = 23

Orange = 12

Grape = 15

Cola = 23

12 + 15 + 23 = 50
