Answer:

0.950796

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a shuttle launch depends on three key devices that may fail independently of each other with probabilities 0.01, 0.02, and 0.02, respectively.

Required probability =  the probability for the shuttle to be launched on time

= Probability that all three do not fail

Since each key device is independent of the other

we have

prob that all three do not fail = (1-0.01)(1-0.02)(1-0.02)\\=0.99*0.98*0.98\\=0.950796

Answer:

A. The lines stay parallel

Step-by-step explanation:

Rigid transformations do not change angle or line relationships. When the parallel lines are rotated they stay parallel. Reflecting them will keep them parallel. If this were not true, then figured with parallel lines like rectangles and squares would change shape when reflected.
