Seventy percent of light aircraft that disappear while in flight in a certain country are subsequently discovered. Of the aircra

ft that are discovered, 60% have an emergency locator, whereas 90% of the aircraft not discovered do not have an emergency locator. Suppose that a light aircraft has disappeared.
If it has an emergency locator, what is the probability that it will not be discovered?

Answer:

If it has an emergency locator, there is a 6.67% probability that it will not be discovered.

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

For this problem, we have that:

What is the probability of the aircraft not being discovered, given that it has an emergency locator.

P(B) is the probability that the aircraft is not discovered. Seventy percent of light aircraft that disappear while in flight in a certain country are subsequently discovered. So 30% are not discovered. This means that P(B) = 0.3.

P(A/B) is the probability that the aircraft has an emergency locator, given that it was not discovered. 90% of the aircraft not discovered do not have an emergency locator.  So, there is a 10% probability that an aircraft that was not discovered has an emergency locator. This means that P(A/B) = 0.10

P(A) is the probability that an aircraft has an emergency locator. 70% of the aircrafts are located, of which 60% have an emergency locator. 30% of the aircrafts are not located, of which 10% have an emergency locator. So

P(A) = 0.7(0.6) + 0.3(0.1) = 0.45

Finally

P = \frac{P(B).P(A/B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.3*0.1}{0.45} = 0.0667

If it has an emergency locator, there is a 6.67% probability that it will not be discovered.

We roll a fair die repeatedly until we see the number four appear and then we stop. The outcome of the experiment is the number
muminat

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

given that we roll a fair die repeatedly until we see the number four appear and then we stop.

the number 4 can appear either in I throw, or II throw or .... indefinitely

So X = the no of throws can be from 1 to infinity

This is a discrete distribution countable.

Sample space= {1,2,.....}

b) Prob ( 4 never appears) = Prob (any other number appears in all throws)

= \frac{5}{6} *\frac{5}{6} *\frac{5}{6} *\frac{5}{6} *...\\=(\frac{5}{6} )^n

where n is the number of throws

As n tends to infinity, this becomes 0 because 5/6 is less than 1.

Hence this probability is approximately 0

Or definitely 4 will appear atleast once.

the circumference of a circle is 11pi inches. what is the area, in square inches, of the circle? express in terms of pi.
zmey [24]
Circumference = 2 * pi * r, where r is the radius
For this circle, the circumference is 11pi, so 11pi=2*pi*radius. Divide both sides by 2pi and you get r is = to 5.5 inches.

Area of a circle is pi*r^2. Since we just saw that r = 5.5 inches, the circle has an area of 5.5 inches * 5.5 inches * pi or 30.25 pi inches squared.

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

3 necklaces and 12 bracelets

Step-by-step explanation:

Bracelets = x +4

amount of necklace gold  =   20*x

amount of gold in bracelet = 7*(x+4)    

added together = 109 gm

 20x    +  7(x+4)     =    109    

20x + 7x+28 = 109

27x+28=109

-28        -28

27x= 81

/27   /27

x=3 necklaces

then bracelets = 3+4=12
