In a certain​ four-engine vintage​ aircraft, now quite​ unreliable, each engine has a 15​% chance of failure on any​ flight, as

long as it is carrying its​ one-fourth share of the load. But if one engine​ fails, then the chance of failure increases to 35​% for each of the other three engines. And if a second engine​ fails, each of the remaining two has a 45​% chance of failure. Assuming that no two engines ever fail​ simultaneously, and that the aircraft can continue flying with as few as two operating​ engines, find the probability of exactly one engine failure.

Answer:

0.0975 or 9.75%

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that no engines fail simultaneously, the probability that exactly one engine fails is the probability that the first engine fails (15%) multiplied by the probability that the second engine does not fail (100% - 35%):

P = 0.15*(1-0.35)\\P=0.0975

The probability of exactly one engine failure is 0.0975 or 9.75%

Three consecutive integers can be represented by the variable n, n+1 and n+2. If the sum of three consecutive integers is 57, wh
pashok25 [27]
You have some unknown integer n, and you know that adding this and the next two integers, n+1 and n+2, gives a total of 57.

This means

n+(n+1)+(n+2)=57

The task is to find all three unknown integers. Notice that if you know the value of n, then you pretty much know the value of the other three integers.

To find n, solve the equation above:

n+(n+1)+(n+2)=3n+3=57\implies 3n=54\implies n=\dfrac{54}3=18

So if 18 is the first integer, then others must be 19 and 20.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.From the given triangle, ABC, using the proportionality theorem, we get

\frac{FA}{CA}=\frac{EF}{BC}

⇒\frac{8}{40}=\frac{5}{x}

⇒x=25ft

Thus, the height will be 25 feet.

2.  

Statement                                                   Reason

1.∠C≅∠E                                                     Given

2. ∠ABC≅∠DBE                                Vertically opposite angles

3. ΔABC is similar to ΔDBE               AA similarity rule.
