Answer:

x = 10 and y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Equalateral triangle means all sides are equal.

x = 10, easy

make y + 3 = 10

y = 7

Easy, no real math needed. lol

Seventy-two percent of the light aircraft that disappear while in flight in a certain country are subsequently discovered. Of th

Anton [14]

Answer:

a) 0.105 = 10.5% probability that it will not be discovered if it has an emergency locator.

b) 0.522 = 52.2% probability that it will be discovered if it does not have an emergency locator.

c) 0.064 = 6.4% probability that 7 of them are discovered.

Step-by-step explanation:

For itens a and b, we use conditional probability.

For item c, we use the binomial distribution along with the conditional probability.

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}$

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

$P(A \cap B)$ is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

a) If it has an emergency locator, what is the probability that it will not be discovered?

Event A: Has an emergency locator

Event B: Not located.

Probability of having an emergency locator:

66% of 72%(Are discovered).

20% of 100 - 72 = 28%(not discovered). So

$P(A) = 0.66*0.72 + 0.2*0.28 = 0.5312$

Probability of having an emergency locator and not being discovered:

20% of 28%. So

$P(A cap B) = 0.2*0.28 = 0.056$

Probability:

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.056}{0.5312} = 0.105$

0.105 = 10.5% probability that it will not be discovered if it has an emergency locator.

b) If it does not have an emergency locator, what is the probability that it will be discovered?

Probability of not having an emergency locator:

0.5312 of having. So

$P(A) = 1 - 0.5312 = 0.4688$

Probability of not having an emergency locator and being discovered:

34% of 72%. So

$P(A \cap B) = 0.34*0.72 = 0.2448$

Probability:

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.2448}{0.4688} = 0.522$

0.522 = 52.2% probability that it will be discovered if it does not have an emergency locator.

c) If we consider 10 light aircraft that disappeared in flight with an emergency recorder, what is the probability that 7 of them are discovered?

p is the probability of being discovered with the emergency recorder:

0.5312 probability of having the emergency recorder.

Probability of having the emergency recorder and being located:

66% of 72%. So

$P(A \cap B) = 0.66*0.72 = 0.4752$

Probability of being discovered, given that it has the emergency recorder:

$p = P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.4752}{0.5312} = 0.8946$

This question asks for P(X = 7) when $n = 10$ . So

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 7) = C_{10,7}.(0.8946)^{7}.(0.1054)^{3} = 0.064$

0.064 = 6.4% probability that 7 of them are discovered.

Find the equation of the line perpendicular to y = 3x + 6 and containing the point (-9,-5).

neonofarm [45]

The equation of the line perpendicular to y = 3x + 6 and containing the point (-9,-5) is $y = \frac{-1}{3}x - 8$

Solution:

Given that line perpendicular to y = 3x + 6 and containing the point (-9, -5)

We have to find the equation of line

The slope intercept form is given as:

y = mx + c ------ eqn 1

Where "m" is the slope of line and "c" is the y - intercept

Let us first find the slope of line

The given equation of line is y = 3x + 6

On comparing the given equation of line y = 3x + 6 with eqn 1, we get,

m = 3

Thus the slope of given equation of line is 3

We know that product of slopes of given line and slope of line perpendicular to given line is equal to -1

Slope of given line $\times$ slope of line perpendicular to given line = -1

$3 \times \text{ slope of line perpendicular to given line }= -1$

$\text{ slope of line perpendicular to given line } = \frac{-1}{3}$

Let us now find the equation of line with slope $m = \frac{-1}{3}$ and containing the point (-9, -5)

Substitute $m = \frac{-1}{3}$ and (x, y) = (-9, -5) in eqn 1

$-5 = \frac{-1}{3}(-9) + c\\\\-5 = 3 + c\\\\c = -8$

Thus the required equation of line is:

Substitute $m = \frac{-1}{3}$ and c = -8 in eqn 1

$y = \frac{-1}{3}x - 8$

Thus the required equation of line perpendicular to given line is found
