Answer:

Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you lift up a book or any other object (i.e. Steve's book) he is applying GPE onto the object!

This is because Gravity acts negatively on every object on Earth and it is Gravitational Field so if you lift an object up from a flat surface, you are applying an increased force of Gravitational Potential Energy

75 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 20/50 = 30/x

So,

20X = 30x50

20x = 1500

X = 1500/20

X = 75

If number A is a 2-digit number and its digits are transposed to form number B, then the difference between the larger of the tw

galben [10]

If the original number is ab it has a value of

10a+b when it is reversed it will have a value of 10b-a

10b+a-10a-b is the differences which is equal to

9b-9a

So the numbers must be divisible by 9

A small airline overbooks flights on the assumption that several passengers will not show up. Suppose that the probability that

olchik [2.2K]

We have 22 tickets sold, and 20 seats. This means that at least 2 passengers must not show up (otherwise, at least 21 passengers will be present, and there wouldn't be space for them).

Considering each passenger as independent, you can think of this experiment. Suppose you toss a coin for each passenger. If the coin lands on heads, the passenger shows up. If it lands on tails, the passenger doesn't show up.

But the coin is unfair: it has a 0.91 probability of landing on heads, and thus 0.09 probability of landing on tails.

This implies that the probability of having exactly $k$ tails is

$\binom{22}{k} \cdot 0.09^k \cdot 0.91^{22-k}$

We already concluded that at least two passengers must not show up. So, if our coins lands on tails less than twice, we've lost. So, the losing probability is

$\displaystyle\binom{22}{0}\cdot 0.09^0 \cdot 0.91^{22} + \binom{22}{1}\cdot 0.09^1 \cdot 0.91^{21} \approx 0.39$

Finally, remember the rule to negate events:

$P(E) = 1-P(\lnot E)$

So, if we lose with probability 0.39, we win with probability

$1-0.39 = 0.61$
