Answer: a) 0.6561

b) 0.9999

Step-by-step explanation:

We use Binomial distribution here (Since each satellite is independent of each other.).

In  Binomial distribution :P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}

, where P(X) = probability of getting x successes in n trials.

p= probability of getting success in each trial.

As per given , we have

n= 4

p= 0.9

Let x = Number of  satellites will correctly detect the next incoming missile.

a) The probability that all 4 satellites will correctly detect the next incoming missile:

P(x)=^4C_4(0.9)^4(1-0.9)^{0}

P(x)=(1)(0.9)^4(1)=0.6561

∴the probability that all 4 satellites will correctly detect the next incoming missile=0.6561

b) The probability that at least one of the four satellites will correctly detect the next incoming missile :

P(X\geq1)=1-P(X

∴the probability that at least one of the four satellites will correctly detect the next incoming missile = 0.9999

How do you solve 2sin^2θ = 1 ?
Murrr4er [49]

The value of θ is 45 degrees as sin45° is equal to 1/√2.

<h3>What is trigonometric equation?</h3>

Trigonometric equation refers to an equation consists of a number of trigonometric ratios whose angle is unknown.

<h3>What is the ranges of trigonometric angle?</h3>

Generally trigonometric angles are represented by θ. while solving equations we get the values of θ ranges from 0 degree to 90 degrees.

Given, 2sin²θ = 1

solving the equation

      sin²θ = 1/2

     sinθ = 1/√2

we know sin45° has a specific value 1/√2

   sinθ = sin 45°

now, θ = 45°

hence, the solution is θ = 45 degrees.

I got zero, but that’s wrong.

Answer:

Expected value is 4,000

Step-by-step explanation:

To find expected value ⇒ multiply the value by it's probability

40% × ( -25,000 ) = - 10,000

Breaking means neither add nor subtract a given amount

20% × 0 = 0

35% × 40,000 = 14,000

∴ Expected value = -10,000 + 14,000 = 4,000

LOSS:                   -10,000

BREAK EVEN:       0

WIN:                       14,000

Expected value is 4,000

<em>hope this helps....</em>
