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

e aircraft that are discovered, 66% have an emergency locator, whereas 80% of the aircraft not discovered do not have such a locator. Suppose a light aircraft has disappeared. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
a) If it has an emergency locator, what is the probability that it will not be discovered?
b) If it does not have an emergency locator, what is the probability that it will be discovered?
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?

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.

the surface area of a cuboid is 95cm² and its lateral surface area is 63cm². find the area of its base​
wel

Answer:

The Area of the base is 16 cm² .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The surface area of the cuboid = x = 95 cm²

The lateral surface area of the cuboid = y = 63 cm²

Let The Area of the base = z cm²

Now, Let The length of cuboid = l cm

The breadth of cuboid = b cm

The height of cuboid = h cm

<u>According to question</u>

∵ The surface area of the cuboid = 2 ×(length × breadth + breadth × height + height × length)

Or, x = 2 ×(l × b + b × h + h × l)

Or, 95 =  2 ×(l × b + b × h + h × l)

Or,  (l × b + b × h + h × l) = \dfrac{95}{2}          ....1

<u>Similarly</u>

∵lateral surface area of the cuboid = 2 ×(breadth × height + length × height)

Or, y = 2 ×(b × h + l × h)

Or, 2 ×(b × h + l × h) = 63

Or, (b × h + l × h) = \dfrac{63}{2}              ......2

Putting value of eq 2 into eq 1

so,  (l × b +  \dfrac{63}{2} ) = \dfrac{95}{2}    

Or, l × b = \dfrac{95}{2} - \dfrac{63}{2}    

Or,  l × b = \dfrac{95 - 63}{2}

i.e l × b = \dfrac{32}{2}

so, l × b = 16

<u>Now, Again</u>

∵The Area of the base = ( length × breadth ) cm²

So, z =  l × b

i.e z = 16 cm²

So, The Area of the base = z = 16 cm²

Hence,The Area of the base is 16 cm² . Answer

Solve the system of equations y=5x-1 y=9x-9
Leto [7]

Answer:

Look at the equations:

y

=

−

9

x

−

21

and

y

=

5

x

+

7

Because both equations equal (y), they both equal the same.

If an equations says "

y

=

−

9

x

−

21

" , that means we can replace (y) with

−

9

x

−

21

.

Therefore when i take the equation:

y

=

5

x

+

7

, we can replace (y) to get:

−

9

x

−

21

=

5

x

+

7

Now isolate (x):

−

9

x

−

21

=

5

x

+

7

⇔

−

21

=

14

x

+

7

⇔

−

28

=

14

x

⇔

x

=

−

Sam and Bruno were computing how many kilometers they rode in the 3 bike trips they took last month. In order, they rode 45.7, 4
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

We are given number of miles the 3 bike trips they took last month = 45.7, 40.9, and 38 miles.

Sam and Bruno were computing how many kilometers.

Also one kilometer equals 0.621 miles.

From this we can see than 1 kilometer is smaller unit and a mile is a larger unit.

In order to convert number of miles into kilometers, we need to divide each number of mile by 0.621 miles.

We always divide a larger value by a smaller value to get the smaller unit.

Therefore,

Bruno is correct. When going from a larger unit to a smaller unit you need to divide.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hopefully this helped, if not HMU and I will get u a better answer.
