While working for Life magazine, Archie is assigned to the Galapagos Islands to photograph a rare, giant white turtle. The turtl

e can be found either on Isabella, the largest of the 16 Galapagos islands, or on Santa Cruz, the next largest island. Many have tried to locate the giant turtle, but 89% of them have failed. In addition, 13 out of every 15 searches in the past were concentrated on Santa Cruz, though only 9% of them were actually successful. Archie intends to search on Isabella. What is the probability that Archie will successfully find the turtle

Answer:

0.24

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

Let's have a schematic view of a tree diagram

                                                   A

                 P(Santa Cruz)                        P(Isabella)

                  = 13/15                                    = 2/15

P(Success | Santa Cruz) = 0.09              P(Success | Isabella) = x

We are told that many have tried to locate the giant turtle, but 89% of them have failed.

This means the probability of success is:

P(success) = 1 - 0.89 = 0.11

We need to find   P(Success | Isabella),

Suppose   P(Success | Isabella) be x as shown above,

Then:

P (Success) = P(Santa) P((Success | Santa Cruz) +   P(Isabella) P(Success | Isabella)

0.11 = \dfrac{13}{15}(0.09)+ \dfrac{2}{15}(x)

0.11 - \dfrac{13}{15}(0.09)= \dfrac{2}{15}(x)

0.032= 0.133(x)

make x the subject of the formula:

x =  0.032/0.133

x = 0.24

A line is shown in the graph below.
Kay [80]

Answer:

-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

One can read off the slope of the given line directly from the graph.  As x increases by 3, y increases by 2.  Thus, the slope of the given line is

m = rise / run = 2 / 3

Any line perpendicular to this given line has a slope which is the negative reciprocal of the slope previously found:

                                                      -1              3

Slope of perpendicular line = ------------ = - -----

                                                     2/3             2

This matches the first of the given possible answer choices.
