Answer:

a) The probability that exactly 4 flights are on time is equal to 0.0313

b) The probability that at most 3 flights are on time is equal to 0.0293

c) The probability that at least 8 flights are on time is equal to 0.00586

Step-by-step explanation:

The question posted is incomplete. This is the complete question:

United Airlines' flights from Denver to Seattle are on time 50 % of the time. Suppose 9 flights are randomly selected, and the number on-time flights is recorded. Round answers to 3 significant figures.

a) The probability that exactly 4 flights are on time is =

b) The probability that at most 3 flights are on time is =

c)The probability that at least 8 flights are on time is =

<h2>Solution to the problem</h2>

a) Probability that exactly 4 flights are on time

Since there are two possible outcomes, being on time or not being on time, whose probabilities do not change, this is a binomial experiment.

The probability of success (being on time) is p = 0.5.

The probability of fail (note being on time) is q = 1 -p = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5.

You need to find the probability of exactly 4 success on 9 trials: X = 4, n = 9.

The general equation to find the probability of x success in n trials is:

$P(X=x)=_nC_x\cdot p^x\cdot (1-p)^{(n-x)}$

Where $_nC_x$ is the number of different combinations of x success in n trials.

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

Hence,

$P(X=4)=_9C_4\cdot (0.5)^4\cdot (0.5)^{5}$

$_9C_4=\frac{4!}{9!(9-4)!}=126$

$P(X=4)=126\cdot (0.5)^4\cdot (0.5)^{5}=0.03125$

b) Probability that at most 3 flights are on time

The probability that at most 3 flights are on time is equal to the probabiity that exactly 0 or exactly 1 or exactly 2 or exactly 3 are on time:

$P(X\leq 3)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)$

$P(X=0)=(0.5)^9=0.00195313$ . . . (the probability that all are not on time)

$P(X=1)=_9C_1(0.5)^1(0.5)^8=9(0.5)^1(0.5)^8=0.00390625$

$P(X=2)=_9C_2(0.5)^2(0.5)^7=36(0.5)^2(0.5)^7=0.0078125$

$P(X=3)= _9C_3(0.5)^3(0.5)^6=84(0.5)^3(0.5)^6=0.015625$

$P(X\leq 3)=0.00195313+0.00390625+0.0078125+0.015625=0.02929688\\\\ P(X\leq 3) \approx 0.0293$

c) Probability that at least 8 flights are on time 

That at least 8 flights are on time is the same that at most 1 is not on time.

That is, 1 or 0 flights are not on time.

Then, it is easier to change the successful event to not being on time, so I will change the name of the variable to Y.

$P(Y=0)=_0C_9(0.5)^0(0.5)^9=0.00195313\\ \\ P(Y=1)=_1C_9(0.5)^1(0.5)^8=0.0039065\\ \\ P(Y=0)+P(Y=1)=0.00585938\approx 0.00586$

A circle is translated 4 units to the right and then reflected over the x-axis. Complete the statement so that it will always be

irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The statement is now presented as:

$\exists\, (h,k)\in \mathbb{R}^{2} /f: (x-h^{2})+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}\implies f': [x-(h+4)]^{2}+[y-(-k)]^{2} = r^{2}$

In other words, this mathematical statement can be translated as:

There is a point (h, k) in the set of real ordered pairs so that a circumference centered at (h,k) and with a radius r implies a equivalent circumference centered at (h+4,-k) and with a radius r.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $C = (h,k)$ the coordinates of the center of the circle, which must be transformed into $C'=(h', k')$ by operations of translation and reflection. From Analytical Geometry we understand that circles are represented by the following equation:

$(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2} = r^{2}$

Where $r$ is the radius of the circle, which remains unchanged in every operation.

Now we proceed to describe the series of operations:

1) Center of the circle is translated 4 units to the right (+x direction):

$C''(x,y) = C(x, y) + U(x,y)$ (Eq. 1)

Where $U(x,y)$ is the translation vector, dimensionless.

If we know that $C(x, y) = (h,k)$ and $U(x,y) = (4, 0)$ , then:

$C''(x,y) = (h,k)+(4,0)$

$C''(x,y) =(h+4,k)$

2) Reflection over the x-axis:

$C'(x,y) = O(x,y) - [C''(x,y)-O(x,y)]$ (Eq. 2)

Where $O(x,y)$ is the reflection point, dimensionless.

If we know that $O(x,y) = (h+4,0)$ and $C''(x,y) =(h+4,k)$ , the new point is:

$C'(x,y) = (h+4,0)-[(h+4,k)-(h+4,0)]$

$C'(x,y) = (h+4, 0)-(0,k)$

$C'(x,y) = (h+4, -k)$

And thus, $h' = h+4$ and $k' = -k$ . The statement is now presented as:

$\exists\, (h,k)\in \mathbb{R}^{2} /f: (x-h^{2})+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}\implies f': [x-(h+4)]^{2}+[y-(-k)]^{2} = r^{2}$

In other words, this mathematical statement can be translated as:

Measuring the speed of sound in the ocean is an important part of marine research. One application is the study of climate chang

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

A linear formula for S as a function of D is S=17D+1534

Step-by-step explanation:

We are supposed to find a linear formula for S as a function of D.

Equation of line : y = mx+c

We are given that At the surface, the speed of sound is 1534 meters per second.

c = 1534

We are given that for each increase in depth by 1 km, the speed increases by 17 m/s

So, Slope = m = 17

Substitute the values in equation

y=17x+1534

x denotes depth

y denotes speed

We are given that Use D for depth and S for the speed of sound

So, S=17D+1534

Hence a linear formula for S as a function of D is S=17D+1534

The length of a rectangle is (5x − 1) cm and the width is (11 − 2x) cm. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 44 centimeters, wha

daser333 [38]

Answer:

57 cm²

Step-by-step explanation

l = length

w = width

p = perimeter

(5x - 1) = length

(11 - 2x) = width

44 = perimeter

Formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:

l + l + w + w

2l + 2w = p

Substitute the variables for the length and width with the values given to you by the problem, then solve.

2(5x - 1) + 2(11 - 2x) = 44

(10x - 2) + (22 - 4x) = 44 (Distributive property)

6x + 20 = 44

6x = 24

x = 4

Plug x = 4 back into the length and width.

Length = (5x - 1), (5(4) - 1), (19)

Width = (11 - 2x), (11 - 2(4)), (3)

Area for a rectangle: Length × Width = Area.

19 × 3 = 57 cm²

This is all in cm so answer with cm²
