For flights from a particular airport in January, there is a 30 percent chance of a flight being delayed because of icy weather.

If a flight is delayed because of icy weather, there is a 10 percent chance the flight will also be delayed because of a mechanical problem. If a flight is not delayed because of icy weather, there is a 5 percent chance that it will be delayed because of a mechanical problem. If one flight is selected at random from the airport in January, what is the probability that the flight selected will have at least one of the two types of delays?
(A) 0.065 (B) 0.335 (C) 0.350 (D) 0.450 (E) 0.665

Answer:

0.335

Step-by-step explanation:

1. There is a 30 percent chance of a flight being delayed because of icy weather ,then the probability of being delayed is 0.3 and of being not delayed is 0.7.

2. If a flight is delayed because of icy weather, there is a 10 percent chance the flight will also be delayed because of a mechanical problem, then the probability of being delayed is 0.1 and the probabilty of not being delayed is 0.9.

3. If a flight is not delayed because of icy weather, there is a 5 percent chance that it will be delayed because of a mechanical problem (MP), then the probability of being delayed is 0.05 and the probabilty of not being delayed is 0.95. (See attached probability tree)

Delayed of icy weather - 0.3

Delayed of MP when weather is not icy - 0.7·0.05=0.035

Now, if one flight is selected at random from the airport in January, the probability that the flight selected will have at least one of the two types of delays is

0.3+0.035=0.335

In relation t a functions? Is the inverse of relation t function
frozen [14]

Answer:

Relation t is a function. The inverse of relation t is not a function ⇒ 3rd

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- A relation is a set of inputs and outputs, and a function is a relation

 with one output for each input

- Ex: T = {(1 , 2) , (3 , 5) , (-4 , 0)} is a function because every input has

  only one output

- To find the inverse of a function we switched the input and the

  out put

- The inverse of a function may not always be a function

* Lets solve the problem

∵ The relation t is the set of ordered pairs of x and y

  x = 0     2      4    6

  y = -8    -7    -4    -4

∵ x = 0 has only y = -8

∵ x = 2 has only y = -7

∵ x = 4 has only y = -4

∵ x = 6 has only y = -4

∴ Every value of x has only one value of y

∴ Relation t is a function

* Lets find its inverse by switching x and y

∵ The inverse function of t is :

   x = -8     -7     -4    -4

   y =  0      2      4     6

∵ x = -8 has only y = 0

∵ x = -7 has only y = 2

∵ x = -4 has y = 4 and y = 6

∴ Not every value of x has only one value of y

∴ The inverse of relation t is not a function

* Relation t is a function. The inverse of relation t is not a function

12p &lt; 96<br> A. p &lt; 8<br> B. p &lt; 108<br> C. p &lt; 84<br> D. p &gt; –8
inessss [21]

Solution:

<u>Note that:</u>

  • Given inequality: 12p < 96

<u>Dividing both sides by 12:</u>

  • 12p < 96
  • => 12p/12 < 96/12
  • => p < 8

Correct option is A.
