An airline claims that 90% of the time, its planes are on schedule. If three flights are selected at random, what is the probabi
lity that the first two are on schedule and the third one is not on schedule?
1 answer:
1. Check the tree diagram in the picture attached.
2. The blue segment represents "on time"
The red segment represents "not on time"
3. blue - blue - red represents the case 1st on time, 2nd on time, 3rd not on time.
the combined probability is 90/100*90/100*10/100=9/10*9/10*1/10=99/1000=0.099
4. Remark with a tree diagram we can tell anything asked about the probability of an experiment.

ANSWER: The size of a red blood cell IS approximately half the size of a plant cell.
EXPLANATION:
<em>1. We divide the size of the plant cell by 2 to see if half of its size is the size of a red blood cell. </em>
Therefore, half of a plant cell's size is 0.000006325 m.
<em>2. We now compare the size of half of the plant cell to the size of the red blood cell.</em>
0.000006325 m and 0.000007 m are very close in size; therefore, the size of a red blood cell IS approximately half of a plant cell.
