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

Denise bought a box of 560 pieces of candy.4/5 of the pieces of the candy were fruity and 1/4 of the remaining pieces of candy w
Liula [17]

Answer:

<em>Number of Other flavor candy is 84.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

A total of 560 pieces of candy are there in the box.

\frac{4}{5} of the pieces are fruity.

Number of Fruity pieces:

\dfrac{4}{5} \times 560\\\Rightarrow 4 \times 112 =448

Now, remaining pieces = Total pieces - Fruity pieces

remaining pieces = 560 - 448 = 112

Also given that \frac{1}4 of the remaining pieces are mind.

Number of mint pieces:

\dfrac{1}{4}\times 112 = 28

Other flavors remaining = Total pieces - Fruity pieces - Mint pieces

Other flavors remaining = 560 - 448 - 28

Other flavors remaining = 112 - 28 = <em>84</em>

<em>Number of Other flavor candy is 84.</em>

Emma is making a recipe that needs 2 1/2 cups of sugar. Each
IrinaVladis [17]

The given partial fraction divided by the fraction of sugar in a scoop is

equal to multiplying the partial fraction by the reciprocal of the fraction.

  • The number of scoops of sugar needed is <u>10 scoops</u>.

Reasons:

The amount of sugar the recipe Emma is making needs = 2 1/2 cups

Amount of sugar in each scoop of sugar = 1/4 cups

Required:

The amount of scoops Emma needs to add for the entire recipe

Solution:

The amount of sugar needed = 2 1/2 cups

Amount of sugar per scoop = 1/4 cups/scoop

Therefore;

  • \displaystyle Number \ of \ scoops = \mathbf{\frac{Cups \ of \ sugar \ needed}{Cups \ of \ of \ sugar \ per \ scoop}}

Which gives;

  • \displaystyle Number \ of \ scoops \ needed  = \mathbf{\frac{2 \frac{1}{2}  \ cups \ of \ sugar }{\frac{1}{4} \  cups \ of \ sugar \ per \ scoop}}

\displaystyle  2 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2}

\displaystyle \frac{ \frac{5}{2}}{\frac{1}{4} } =  \mathbf{ \frac{5}{2} \times \frac{4}{1} = \frac{20}{2 }} = 10

Therefore;

\displaystyle Number \ of \ scoops \ needed  = \mathbf{\frac{2 \frac{1}{2}  \ cups \ of \ sugar }{\frac{1}{4} \  cups \ of \ sugar \ per \ scoop}} = 10 \, scoops

The number of scoops she needs for the entire recipe is <u>10 scoops</u>
