A person traveling from Seattle to Sydney has three airlines to choose from. 40% of travelers choose airline A, and this airline

arrives late to Sydney 10% of the time. 35% choose airline B, and this airline arrives late 15% of the time. 25% choose airline C, and this airline is late 8% of the time. If a randomly selected traveler is on a flight from Seattle which arrives late to Sydney, what is the probability that they flew with airline B?

Answer:

46.67% probability that they flew with airline B.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

A 40% probability that a traveler chooses airline A.

A 35% probability that a traveled chooses airline B.

A 25% probability that a traveler chooses airline C.

If a passenger chooses airline A, a 10% probability that he arrives late.

If a passenger chooses airline B, a 15% probability that he arrives late.

If a passenger chooses airline C, a 8% probability that he arrives late.

If a randomly selected traveler is on a flight from Seattle which arrives late to Sydney, what is the probability that they flew with airline B?

This can be formulated as the following problem:

What is the probability of B happening, knowing that A has happened.

It can be calculated by the following formula

P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)}

Where P(B) is the probability of B happening, P(A/B) is the probability of A happening knowing that B happened and P(A) is the probability of A happening.

So

What is the probability that the traveler flew with airline B, given that he was late?

P(B) is the probability that he flew with airline B.

So P(B) = 0.35

P(A/B) is the probability of being late when traveling with airline B. So P(A/B) = 0.15.

P(A) is the probability of being late. This is the sum of 10% of 40%(airline A), 15% of 35%(airline B) and 8% of 25%(airline C).

So

P(A) = 0.1*0.4 + 0.15*0.35 + 0.08*0.25 = 0.1125

Probability

P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.35*0.15}{0.1125} = 0.4667

46.67% probability that they flew with airline B.

What is the value of the sin3x/6x; as x approaches to zero
nikklg [1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

When x = 0,

sin3x / 6x = 0 / 0, which is an indeterminate form.

Hence we use L'Hospital's rule:

d/dx (sin3x) = 3cos3x

d/dx (6x) = 6

Now we have 3cos3x / 6 or 0.5cos3x.

When x = 0, 0.5cos3x = 0.5(1) = 0.5.

Hence the limit is 0.5.

Name the property the equation illustrates. 8 + 5.3 = 5.3 + 8
VMariaS [17]
The answer to the question is letter "D. Commutative Property of Addition". The property states that if there are two numbers which we may represent by a and b, the value of a + b is equal to the value of b + a. The given, 8 + 5.3 = 5.3 + 8 is an example of this property.

(x - 2)(x² + 2x + 4) = 0​
Ber [7]

We have to find the value of x from the given equation.

  • (x - 2)(x² - 2x + 2) = 0 is a quadratic equation, so it will have two values.

Step: Write the equation in simplest form.

  • (x - 2)(x² - 2x + 1) = 0

Step: Solve the problem by spiltting method.

  • (x-2)(x² - x -x + 1) = 0
  • (x - 2)(x²-x - x + 1) = 0
  • (x - 2) [x(x - 1) -1(x -1)]
  • (x - 2)[(x-1)(x-1)]

Step: Solve the problem with using algebraic formula.

{x-1](x-1)

Step : We have used a²-b² to solve the problem.

(x-2)(x² - x -x + 1) = 0

(x - 2)(x²-x - x + 1) = 0

(x - 2) [x(x - 1) -1(x -1)]

(x - 2)[(x-1)(x-1)]

Therefore, the possible factorization is (x - 2)[(x-1)(x-1)].

M is the midpoint of AN, A has coordinates
maksim [4K]

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Question , M is the midpoint of AN, A has coordinates (-7,4), and M has coordinates (-4, -1).

<u>Figure</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

\setlength{\unitlength}{1 cm}\begin{picture}(20,12) \put(4,0.2){\line(0,-1){0.4}}\put(1,0){\line(1,0){6}} \put(3.8,-0.6){$\bf M(-4,-1) $} \put(1,-0.6){$\bf A (-7,4)$}   \put(6.8,-0.6){$\bf N(x,y)$} \end{picture}

Let the coordinates of N be ( x , y )

Now , according to Midpoint Formula , the midpoint of points say A(x , y) and B (x' , y') is given by ,

\boxed{\blue{ \bf Midpoint =\bigg( \dfrac{x+x'}{2} , \dfrac{y+y'}{2} \bigg) }}

<u>On</u><u> </u><u>using</u><u> </u><u>this</u><u> </u><u>formula</u><u> </u><u>,</u><u> </u>

=> Midpoint = \bigg( \dfrac{x+x'}{2} , \dfrac{y+y'}{2} \bigg)  \\ \\ => (-4, 1) = \bigg( \dfrac{x -7 }{2} , \dfrac{y + 4 }{2}\bigg) \\ \\ => -4 = \dfrac{x-7}{2} \\\\ => x - 7 = -8 \\\\ => x = 7 -8 \\\\ \boxed{\red{\sf=> x = -1 }} \\\\ => \dfrac{y+4}{2}=-1 \\\\=> y +4 = -2 \\ \\ y = -4-2 \\\\\boxed{\red{\sf=> y = -6 }}
