The problem is modelled in the first picture shown below
To work out the resultant vector, we modelled the vectors 150N and 75N as triangle AOB is shown in the second picture with AB as the resultant vector.
We use the cosine rule to work out the length AB
(nearest whole number)
The third picture shows the full diagram of the vectors
To work out the direction of the resultant vector, we use the sin rule to find the size of angle A and angle B
Angle A
(rounded to nearest whole number)
Angle B
Direction is 60° toward negative x-axis
Answer: Magnitude 130N and direction 60° toward negative x-axis

Answer:
(a) P (Y = 3) = 0.0844, P (Y ≤ 3) = 0.8780
(b) The probability that the length of a drought exceeds its mean value by at least one standard deviation is 0.2064.
Step-by-step explanation:
The random variable <em>Y</em> is defined as the number of consecutive time intervals in which the water supply remains below a critical value <em>y₀</em>.
The random variable <em>Y</em> follows a Geometric distribution with parameter <em>p</em> = 0.409<em>.</em>
The probability mass function of a Geometric distribution is:
(a)
Compute the probability that a drought lasts exactly 3 intervals as follows:
Thus, the probability that a drought lasts exactly 3 intervals is 0.0844.
Compute the probability that a drought lasts at most 3 intervals as follows:
P (Y ≤ 3) = P (Y = 0) + P (Y = 1) + P (Y = 2) + P (Y = 3)
Thus, the probability that a drought lasts at most 3 intervals is 0.8780.
(b)
Compute the mean of the random variable <em>Y</em> as follows:
Compute the standard deviation of the random variable <em>Y</em> as follows:
The probability that the length of a drought exceeds its mean value by at least one standard deviation is:
P (Y ≥ μ + σ) = P (Y ≥ 1.445 + 1.88)
= P (Y ≥ 3.325)
= P (Y ≥ 3)
= 1 - P (Y < 3)
= 1 - P (X = 0) - P (X = 1) - P (X = 2)
Thus, the probability that the length of a drought exceeds its mean value by at least one standard deviation is 0.2064.
