Answer:

1) 0.338

2) 0.4065

3) 0.2555

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The probability that they will lose both contracts is the probability of losing contract 1 and 2 altogether:

The probability of losing contract 1 is: 1 - 0.35 = 0.65

The probability of losing contract 2, given that they lose contract 1 is: 1 - 0.48 = 0.52

The probability of losing both contracts is 0.65*0.52 = 0.338

2. The probability that they win only one contract is the probability they they win contract 1, lose contract 2, plus the probability that they lose contract 2, win contract 1:

0.35*(1-0.73) + (1-0.35)*0.48 = 0.0945 + 0.312 = 0.4065

3. The probability that they win both contract is

0.35 * 0.73 = 0.2555

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

percentage error = 12.28%

Step-by-step explanation:

5 x 0.14 = 0.7

5 x 1.14 = 5.7

as increase is not the same as error decrease.

We use the same numbers 12.28% = 0.1228.

5.7 x 0.1228 = 0.69996  = 12.28%

5.7 - 0.69996 = 5.00004 foot.  As decrease.

And find it is correct.

His error therefore was 12.28% out.

As we work the first numbers 5.7 and can only x by a number to see 5ft

We take 5.7 x 0.1228 and find 0.69996 when taken from 5.7 ft. is unmistakably 5 foot.  (5.00004) ft.

Joint frequencies are the frequencies represented by a two-column table

The joint frequency that has the most flight is (c) Yellow Jet, going east

<h3>How to determine the highest flight</h3>

From the two-column table, the highest flight is 35.

35 is greater than other flights (33, 30 and 34) in the two-column table.

Also, 35 represents the flights of Yellow jets and going east

Hence, the joint frequency that has the most flight is (c) Yellow Jet, going east
