An example problem in a Statistics textbook asked to find the probability of dying when making a skydiving jump.

MArishka [77]

Answer:

(a) 0.999664

(b) 15052

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given data of recent years, there were about 3,000,000 skydiving jumps and 21 of them resulted in deaths.

So, the probability of death is $\frac{21}{3000000}==0.000007$ .

Assuming, this probability holds true for each skydiving and does not change in the present time.

So, as every skydiving is an independent event having a fixed probability of dying and there are only two possibilities, the diver will either die or survive, so, all skydiving can be regarded as is Bernoulli's trial.

Denoting the probability of dying in a single jump by $q$ .

$q=7\times 10^{-6}=0.000007$ .

So, the probability of survive, $p=1-q$

$\Rightarrow p=1-7\times 10^{-6}=0.999993.$

(a) The total number of jump he made, n=48

Using Bernoulli's equation, the probability of surviving in exactly 48 jumps (r=48) out of 48 jumps (n=48) is

$=\binom(n,r)p^rq^{n-r}$

$=\binom(48,48)(0.999993)^{48}(0.000007)^{48-48}$

$=(0.999993)^{48}=0.999664$ (approx)

So, the probability of survive in 48 skydiving is 0.999664,

(b) The given probability of surviving =90%=0.9

Let, total $n$ skydiving jumps required to meet the surviving probability of 0.9.

So, By using Bernoulli's equation,

$0.9=\binom {n }{r} p^rq^{n-r}$

Here, r=n.

$\Rightarrow 0.9=\binom{n}{n}p^nq^{n-n}$

$\Rightarrow 0.9=p^n$

$\Rightarrow 0.9=(0.999993)^n$

$\Rightarrow \ln(0.9)=n\ln(0.999993)$ [ taking $\log_e$ both sides]

$\Rightarrow n=\frac {\ln(0.9)}{\ln(0.999993)}$

$\Rightarrow n=15051.45$

The number of diving cant be a fractional value, so bound it to the upper integral value.

Hence, the total number of skydiving required to meet the 90% probability of surviving is 15052.

Make q the subject of the formula 2(q+p) = 1 + 5 q

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

q = 2/3p - 3

Step by step:

2q+2p = 1+5q
2q - 5q = -2p + 1
-3q = -2p + 1
q = 2/3p - 3

Solve the right triangle, ΔABC, for all the missing side and angles to the nearest tenth given sides a = 10.6 and b = 19.2.

Aliun [14]

Answer:

Part 1) $c=21.9\ units$

Part 2) $B=61.1\°$

Part 3) $A=28.9\°$

Part 4) $C=90\°$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the length side c

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

$c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}$

substitute the given values

$c^{2}=10.6^{2}+19.2^{2}$

$c^{2}=481$

$c=21.9\ units$

step 2

Fin the measure of angle B

we know that

In the right triangle

$tan(B)=b/a$

substitute the given values

$tan(B)=19.2/10.6$

$B=arctan(19.2/10.6)=61.1\°$

step 3

Find the measure of angle A

we know that

The measure of interior angles in a triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

∠A+∠B+∠C=180°

Remember that in a right triangle the measure of angle C is 90 degrees

we have

$B=61.1\°$

$C=90\°$

substitute

$A+61.1\°+90\°=180\°$

$A=28.9\°$

Andy and Sylvie each incorrectly simplified the expression -3 - 4(2x - 3). Andy wrote -14x + 21 and Sylvie wrote -8 - 6. Explain

vovangra [49]

Answer:

Given the expression -3 - 4(2x- 3) the correct solution is -8x + 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Andy wrote -14x + 21, so his error was to do de substraction (-3 -4) and then distribute -7(2x-3) = -14x+ 21.

Sylvie wrote -8x -6. Her error was to multiplied -4 only for 2x,

then -3 - 4(2x -3) = -3 -8x -3 = -8x -6.
