Thomas wants to invite Madeline to a party. He has an 80% chance of bumping into her at school. Otherwise, he’ll call her on the

phone. If he talks to her at school, he’s 90% likely to ask her to a party. However, he’s only 60% likely to ask her over the phone. What is the probability of Thomas inviting Madeline to the party at school?

Answer:

84%

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of Thomas bumping into her at school is 80%, so the probability of not bumping into her is 100% - 80% = 20%.

If he doesn't bump into her (20% chance), he will call her, and the probability of asking her in this case is 60%, so the final probability of asking her in this case is:

P_1 = 20\% * 60\% = 12\%

If he bumps into her (80% chance), the probability of asking her is 90%, so the final probability of asking her in this case is:

P_2 = 80\% * 90\% = 72\%

To find the probability of Thomas inviting Madeline to the party, we just have to sum the probabilities we found above:

P = P_1 + P_2

P = 12\% + 72\% = 84\%

Brut [27]
I think it must be the right triangle so
x=height of the antenna
tan(66)=x/50
x=50*tan(66)
x=1.33 ft
->the height of the antenna = 1.33 ft
hope it is the correct answer because you didn't provided me enough information.
