(2.5 points) The probability that an airplane accident which is due to structural failure is diagnosed correctly is 0.85 and the

probability that an airplane accident which is not due to structural failure is diagnosed incorrectly as being due to structural failure is 0.35. If 30 percent of all airplane accidents are due to structural failures, find the probability that an airplane accident is due to structural failure, given that it has been diagnosed as being due to structural failure.

Answer: 0.51

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a conditional probability. The first event is the airplane accident being caused by structural failure. The probability of it being due to structural failure is 0.3 and the probability of it not being due to structural failure is 0.7. The second event involves the diagnosis of the event. If a plane fails due to structural failure, the probability that it will be diagnosed and the results will say it was due to structural failure is 0.85, and the probability that the diagnosis is unable to identify that it was because of a structural failure is 0.15. If the plane were to fail as a result of some other reason aside structural failure, the probability that the diagnosis will show that it was as a result of structural failure is 0.35 and the probability of the diagnosis showing that is is not as a result of structural failure is 0.65. To find the probability that an airplane failed due to structural failure given that it was diagnosed that it failed due to some malfunction, this is the equation;

p = (probability of plane failing and diagnosis reporting that the failure was due to structural failure)/ (probability of diagnosis reporting that failure was due to structural failure)

p = (0.3*0.85)/((0.3*0.85) + (0.7*0.35))

p = 0.51

Find the square inches
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

16 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Split the shape into a rectangle and square. To solve for square, just mulitple the 2 sides (2 x 2) and you get an area of 4. To solve for the rectangle, you can multiple the 6 and 2 to get the area of 12. Add the 4 and 12 together and you get 16 square inches. Hope this helps!

Answer:

280.6 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>find the length of each side:</u>

you're only given h = 9 m

the formula for h is  h=\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} *a, where a is a side length of the hexagon

plug h in:

9=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}*a\\\\a=9*\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}\\\\

a ≈ 10.392 m

<u>now find the area of a triangle:</u>

1/2 (10.392)(9) = 46.764 m^2

multiply that by 6 and you get 280.584 ≈ 280.6 m^2

you can also use the regular hexagon area formula instead of finding the individual area and multiplying by 6: \frac{3\sqrt{3} }{2} *a^2
