The distance of plane from the origin is 357.14 miles

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

distance traveled southwards, y = 600 miles

Distance traveled east of south, z = 250 miles

Angle, θ = 35°

Distance of plane from the origin, x = ?

The figure is attached for reference:

tan θ = Perpendicular / base

tan θ = distance travelled east of south / x

tan 35° = 250 / x

we know,

tan 35° = 0.7

So,

0.7 = \frac{250}{x} \\\\x = \frac{250}{0.7} \\\\x = 357.14 miles

Therefore, the distance of plane from the origin is 357.14 miles

A person traveling from Seattle to Sydney has three airlines to choose from. 40% of travelers choose airline A, and this airline
dalvyx [7]

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.
