We can then write an equation representing this problem as:

e−1.5mi=5.25mi

Now, add 1.5mi to each side of the equation to solve for e while keeping the equation balanced:

e−1.5mi+1.5mi=5.25mi+1.5mi

e−0=6.75mi

e=6.75mi

The plane's starting elevation was 6.75 miles

Hope this helps!

According to government data, 75% of employed women have never been married. Rounding to 4 decimal places, if 15 employed women

blagie [28]

Answer:

We are given that According to government data, 75% of employed women have never been married.

So, Probability of success = 0.75

So, Probability of failure = 1-0.75 = 0.25

If 15 employed women are randomly selected:

a. What is the probability that exactly 2 of them have never been married?

We will use binomial

Formula : $P(X=r) =^nC_r p^r q^{n-r}$

At x = 2

$P(X=r) =^{15}C_2 (0.75)^2 (0.25^{15-2}$

$P(X=2) =\frac{15!}{2!(15-2)!} (0.75)^2 (0.25^{13}$

$P(X=2) =8.8009 \times 10^{-7}$

b. That at most 2 of them have never been married?

At most two means at x = 0 ,1 , 2

So, $P(X=r) =^{15}C_0 (0.75)^0 (0.25^{15-0}+^{15}C_1 (0.75)^1 (0.25^{15-1}+^{15}C_2 (0.75)^2 (0.25^{15-2}$

$P(X=r) =(0.75)^0 (0.25^{15-0}+15 (0.75)^1 (0.25^{15-1}+\frac{15!}{2!(15-2)!} (0.75)^2 (0.25^{15-2})$

$P(X=r) =9.9439 \times 10^{-6}$

c. That at least 13 of them have been married?

P(x=13)+P(x=14)+P(x=15)

$={15}C_{13}(0.75)^{13} (0.25^{15-13})+{15}C_{14} (0.75)^{14}(0.25^{15-14}+{15}C_{15} (0.75)^{15} (0.25^{15-15})$

$=\frac{15!}{13!(15-13)!}(0.75)^{13} (0.25^{15-13})+\frac{15!}{14!(15-14)!} (0.75)^{14}(0.25^{15-14}+{15}C_{15} (0.75)^{15} (0.25^{15-15})$

$=0.2360$

How does the volume of a cylinder change if the radius is quadrupled and the height is reduced to a third of its original size?

KIM [24]

Answer:

the answer is 1/3 pie r2h

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cylinder is given by πr²h where, r is the radius of the cylinder and h is the height of the cylinder.

Also r=d/2 , where d is the diameter of the cylinder.

Therefore if the diameter is halved, the radius also gets halved ,i.e., it becomes r/2. Therefore the new volume = π(r/2)²h

=π(r²/4)h

=(1/4) πr²h

Therefore the volume becomes one-fourth of the initial volume.
