The automatic opening device of a military cargo parachute has been designed to open when the parachute is 200 m above the groun

d. Suppose opening altitude actually has a normal distribution with mean value 200 and standard deviation 34 m. Equipment damage will occur if the parachute opens at an altitude of less than 100 m. What is the probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answer: 0.0082

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the random variable that represents the opening altitude.

We assume that opening altitude actually has a normal distribution .

As per given , we have

\mu=200 \ \ \sigma=34

Equipment damage will occur if the parachute opens at an altitude of less than 100 m.

z-score corresponds to x=100, z=\dfrac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

i.e.  z=\dfrac{100-200}{34}\approx-2.94

P-value = P(z

Let Y be a binomial variable that represents the opening altitude.

with parameters p=0.0016411 , n= 5

P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}

Required probability :

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

Hence, the probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes = 0.0082

Suppose you have a coupon for 10% off and you use it to buy a CD which was already discounted 15%. Do you end up with a discount
Andrew [12]
No because the extra 10% is off the discounted price, not the original. image that the CD originally cost $10. 15% off of the CD would make the price $8.50. Another 10% off of $8.50 would make the price that you have to pay $7.65. 25% off of the original price of $10 would make the price $7.50. Sorry if its a bit confusing but I hope that helps!

Tickets to a show cost different for seniors, children, and adults. Adult tickets are twice as much as senior tickets. Two senio
aleksklad [387]
A = 2s
c + 2s = 17 .....c + a = 17 (I subbed in "a" for 2s)
2c + a = 24

c + a = 17 .....(-1)
2c + a = 24
---------------
-c -a = -17...result of multiplying by -1
2c + a = 24
---------------add
c = 7

2c + a = 24
2(7) + a = 24
14 + a = 24
a = 24 - 14
a = 10

a = 2s
10 = 2s
10/2 = s
5 = s

so, senior tickets (s) cost $ 5,  adult tickets (a) cost $ 10, and child tickets (c) cost $ 7

1 adult ticket + 1 senior ticket would cost $ 15
