(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

What is the value of "?" if the Perimeter = 50 km?
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

14km

Explanation

11km + 11km = 22km is the sum of both the width.

If you want to find the length than minus the perimeter with 22.

50km - 22km = 28km is the sum of both the length.

To know only one side of the length, divide it by 2.

28km/2 = 14km is the length

-8x+2y=-2<br> 4x+4y=-4<br> What is the solution to the system
pickupchik [31]

The solution to system is x = 0 and y = -1

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given system of equations are:</u></em>

-8x + 2y = -2 ----------- eqn 1

4x + 4y = -4 ---------- eqn 2

We have to solve the system of equations

We can solve the equations by elimination method

<em><u>Multiply eqn 2 by 2</u></em>

8x + 8y = -8 ------ eqn 3

<em><u>Add eqn 1 and eqn 3</u></em>

-8x + 2y = -2

8x + 8y = -8

( + ) ---------------

0x + 2y + 8y = -2 - 8

10y = -10

Divide both sides by 10

y = -1

<em><u>Substitute y = -1 in eqn 1</u></em>

-8x + 2(-1) = -2

-8x - 2 = -2

-8x = -2 + 2

x = 0

Thus the solution to system is x = 0 and y = -1

Ex 2.8<br> 3. find the maximum value of y for the curve y=x^5 -3 for -2≤x≤1
harkovskaia [24]
y=x^5-3\\ y'=5x^4\\\\ 5x^4=0\\ x=0\\ 0\in [-2,1]\\\\ y''=20x^3\\\\&#10;y''(0)=20\cdot0^3=0

The value of the second derivative for x=0 is neither positive nor negative, so you can't tell whether this point is a minimum or a maximum. You need to check the values of the first derivative around the point.
But the value of 5x^4 is always positive for x\in\mathbb{R}\setminus \{0\}. That means at x=0 there's neither minimum nor maximum.
The maximum must be then at either of the endpoints of the interval [-2,1].
The function y is increasing in its entire domain, so the maximum value is at the right endpoint of the interval.

y_{max}=y(1)=1^5-3=-2
