Start off with initially calculating those numbers to find out how far above or below the airplane is from the altitude of 3000 feet. 

To clear things up, when an aircraft dives, the altitude of how high it is traveling decreases. When an aircraft climbs, the altitude of the aircraft increases. When it mentions that the aircraft starts to dive, you need to subtract. When it climbs, you need to add. 

As the pilot initially dives the plane 988 feet and rapidly climbs 748 feet, you'd need to form an equation which contributes those numbers. It can be illustrated as
3000 - 988 + 748, which is equal to 2760. 
The pilot then dives again 885 feet before making another climb of 1099 feet. Adding on to the previous answer we received, this can be represented as 2760 - 885 + 1099, which equals to 2974. 

You can conclude that the airplane is now travelling at an altitude of 2974 feet. To find out how far above or below the airplane is from an altitude of 3000 feet, simply subtract those numbers. 

3000 - 2974 = 26

The aircraft is travelling <u>26 feet</u> below an altitude of 3000 feet.

the number of three-digit numbers with distinct digits that be formed using the digits 1,2,3,5,8 and 9 is . The probability that
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

a)120

b)6.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

No. of digits given= 6

Digits given= 1,2,3,5,8,9

Number to be formed should be 3-digits, as we have to choose 3 digits from given 6-digits so the no. of combinations will be

6P3= 6!/3!

      = 6*5*4*3*2*1/3*2*1

      =6*5*4

      =120

Now finding the probability that both the first digit and the last digit of the three-digit number are even numbers:

As the first and last digits can only be even

then the form of number can be

a)2n8 or

b)8n2

where n can be 1,3,5 or 9

4*2=8

so there can be 8 three-digit numbers with both the first digit and the last digit even numbers

And probability = 8/120

                          = 0.0667

                          =6.67%

The probability that both the first digit and the last digit of the three-digit number are even numbers is 6.67% !
