Use the Law of Sines:

600 a
---------- = ---------- where 94 came from subtracting (11 + 75) from 180.
sin 11 sin 94

Solve this for side a.

Answer:

a = 3136.85

Step-by-step explanation:

We have law of sines $\frac{a}{sinA}=\frac{b}{sinB}=\frac{c}{sinC}$

Here given b = 600, B = 11°, C = 75°

We also have A

A+B+C = A + 11 +75 = 180

A = 180 - 86 = 94°

$\frac{a}{sin94}=\frac{600}{sin11}\\\\a=3136.85$

It's a quadratic so the parent function will be
$y = x ^{2}$
We can see that it has been shifted to the right 5 units, which gives us a new function
$y = (x - 5) ^{2}$
It has also been shifted up 9 units:
$y = (x - 5) ^{2} + 9$
But it has also been flipped across the y-axis which makes this the final change we need to do:
$y = - (x - 5) ^{2} + 9$

A small airline overbooks flights on the assumption that several passengers will not show up. Suppose that the probability that

olchik [2.2K]

We have 22 tickets sold, and 20 seats. This means that at least 2 passengers must not show up (otherwise, at least 21 passengers will be present, and there wouldn't be space for them).

Considering each passenger as independent, you can think of this experiment. Suppose you toss a coin for each passenger. If the coin lands on heads, the passenger shows up. If it lands on tails, the passenger doesn't show up.

But the coin is unfair: it has a 0.91 probability of landing on heads, and thus 0.09 probability of landing on tails.

This implies that the probability of having exactly $k$ tails is

$\binom{22}{k} \cdot 0.09^k \cdot 0.91^{22-k}$

We already concluded that at least two passengers must not show up. So, if our coins lands on tails less than twice, we've lost. So, the losing probability is

$\displaystyle\binom{22}{0}\cdot 0.09^0 \cdot 0.91^{22} + \binom{22}{1}\cdot 0.09^1 \cdot 0.91^{21} \approx 0.39$
