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

craft that are discovered, 63% have an emergency locator, whereas 89% of the aircraft not discovered do not have such a locator. Suppose a light aircraft has disappeared. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) (a) If it has an emergency locator, what is the probability that it will not be discovered? (b) If it does not have an emergency locator, what is the probability that it will be discovered?

Answer:

a) P(B'|A) = 0.042

b) P(B|A') = 0.625

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

80% of the light aircraft that disappear while in flight in a certain country are subsequently discovered

Of the aircraft that are discovered, 63% have an emergency locator,

whereas 89% of the aircraft not discovered do not have such a locator.

From the given information; it is suitable we define the events in order to calculate the probabilities.

So, Let :

A = Locator

B = Discovered

A' = No Locator

B' = No Discovered

So; P(B) = 0.8

P(B') = 1 - P(B)

P(B') = 1- 0.8

P(B') = 0.2

P(A|B) = 0.63

P(A'|B) = 1 - P(A|B)

P(A'|B) = 1- 0.63

P(A'|B) = 0.37

P(A'|B') = 0.89

P(A|B') = 1 - P(A'|B')

P(A|B') = 1 - 0.89

P(A|B') = 0.11

Also;

P(B ∩ A) = P(A|B) P(B)

P(B ∩ A) = 0.63 × 0.8

P(B ∩ A) = 0.504

P(B ∩ A') =  P(A'|B) P(B)

P(B ∩ A') = 0.37 × 0.8

P(B ∩ A') = 0.296

P(B' ∩ A) = P(A|B') P(B')

P(B' ∩ A) = 0.11 × 0.2

P(B' ∩ A) = 0.022

P(B' ∩ A') =  P(A'|B') P(B')

P(B' ∩ A') = 0.89 × 0.2

P(B' ∩ A') = 0.178

Similarly:

P(A) = P(B  ∩  A ) + P(B'  ∩  A)

P(A) = 0.504 + 0.022

P(A) = 0.526

P(A') = 1 - P(A)

P(A') = 1 - 0.526

P(A') =  0.474

The probability that it will not be discovered given that it has an emergency locator is,

P(B'|A) =  P(B' ∩ A)/P(A)

P(B'|A) = 0.022/0.526

P(B'|A) = 0.042

(b) If it does not have an emergency locator, what is the probability that it will be discovered?

The probability that it will be discovered given that it does not have an emergency locator is:

P(B|A') = P(B ∩ A')/P(A')

P(B|A') = 0.296/0.474

P(B|A') = 0.625

Oliga [24]

Answer:

f(g(-6)) is equal to 60

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simply solve this by first plugging -6 into function 6, and then applying function f to the result of that.

f(g(-6))\\= f(1 - \frac{2(-6)}{3})\\= f(1 - \frac{-12}{3})\\\\= f(1 + 4)\\= f(5)\\= 3(5)^2 - 15\\= 3 * 25 - 15\\= 75 - 15\\= 60

When do u use two number lines to compare two fractions
jeka94

Answer:

You need two number lines to compare two fractions when their denominators are different. The procedure is that you draw to segment lines of the same length but divede each line according to its denominator and then compare the place of the points that mark the fraction numbers, the line that content the marke further away from the start end will be indicate the greater fraction. For example, the fractions 3/4 and 7/10. One line will be divided inot 4 equidistant segments, and the other with 10 equidistant segments. The fraction 3/4 will be represented with 3 marks on the first line, and the fraction 7/10 will be represented with 7 marks on the second line. Now you can compare the size of the two segments marked adn decide which fraction is greater.

GOOD LUCK!
