Answer:

0.2416

Step-by-step explanation:

P(forgot to water | dead) = P(forgot and dead) / P(dead)  

->With water it will die with probability 0.45

P(watered and dead) =0.83 x 0.45 = 0.3735

->Without water the plant will die with probability 0.7

P(forgot and dead) = (1-0.83) x 0.7 => 0.17 x 0.7 =>0.119

P(dead) =  P(watered and dead) +P(forgot and dead)

P(dead) = 0.3735 + 0.119= 0.4925

P(forgot to water | dead) =0.119 / 0.4925= 0.2416

Therefore, the probability the neighbor forgot to water the plant is 0.2416

A pilot approaching a 3000-meter runway finds that the angles of depression of the ends of the runway are 14° and 20°. How far i
Amanda [17]
Answer:  The plane is 6,547 feet from the closer edge of the runway.

This is a trigonometry problem that will involve setting up 2 different triangles. One going to the closer edge of the runway and the other going to the far end of the runway.

The constant between the 2 triangles is the height of the plane. You can solve for this is both triangles and set them equal to each other. 

Do that will give you the equation:

x/tan(70) = (x+3000)/tan(76) where x is the distance to the closer end of the runway. 

If you solve that equation, you will get x = 6547 feet.
