You are thinking about the things that can go wrong on your trip home over the Thanksgiving break. You have booked a flight with

US-Scareways. You know that in 30 percent of the cases the company has canceled the flight you were on. Should such a thing occur, there would be no other air travel option home for you. As a backup. You friend Walter offered you a ride back. However, you know that Walter only has a seat in his car for you with an 80 percent probability. What is the probability of you making it home for the holidays?

Answer:

The probability that the person reaches home for the holidays is 0.94.

Step-by-step explanation:

A person wants to go home for Thanksgiving and he has booked a flight with US-Scareways.

It is provided that in 30 percent of the cases the company has canceled the flight you were on.

SO there is 70% chance of reaching home without any difficulties.

In case the flight is cancelled, then as a backup the person's friend Walter offers a ride home.

Walter also has a 80% chance of giving the ride. So there is 20% chance the person will not be able to reach hone if his flight gets cancelled.

Consider the tree diagram below.

The events are:

FC = flight is cancelled

FT = Flight is on time

H = reaches home

Compute the probability that the person reaches home as follows:

P (Reaching Home) = P (H|FC) × P (FC) + P (FT)

                                =(0.80\times 0.30) +0.70\\=0.24+0.70\\=0.94

Thus, the probability that the person reaches home for the holidays is 0.94.

Sedaia [141]
The volume of a rectangular pyramid is
V = (1/3) A*h
where
A =  the area of the rectangular base
h =  the height

The two pyramids are congruent in volume.
The volume of one pyramid is
(1/3)*(2*7.5)*(6) = 11
The volume of the composite figure is  2*11 = 22

Answer:  22

Find the length of line segment x.<br> A)<br> 4<br> B)<br> 5<br> 6<br> 7
Korolek [52]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x + 4) = 5(3 + 5) => Intersecting Secants Theorem

4(x + 4) = 5(8)

Open the bracket

4x + 16 = 40

Subtract 16 from each side

4x + 16 - 16 = 40 - 16

4x = 24

4x/4 = 24/4

x = 6

Taiga wants to make a circular loop that she can twirl around her body for exercise. He will use a tube that is 2.5 meters long.
Travka [436]

Answer: 0.796 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of circle = 2\pi r , where r=radius

Here, Circumference of loop = 2.5 meters

i.e. 2\pi r=2.5

\Rightarrow\ r=\dfrac{2.5}{2\pi}

\Rightarrow\ r=\dfrac{2.5}{2\times\dfrac{22}{7}}\\\\\Rightarrow\ r=\dfrac{2.5\times7}{2\times22}\\\\\Righttarrow\ r=0.398\ m

Diameter = 2r = 2(0.398) = 0.796 meters

Hence, The diameter of Taiga's exercise hoop = 0.796 meters
