Before every​ flight, the pilot must verify that the total weight of the load is less than the maximum allowable load for the ai

rcraft. The aircraft can carry 37 ​passengers, and a flight has fuel and baggage that allows for a total passenger load of 6,216 lb. The pilot sees that the plane is full and all passengers are men. The aircraft will be overloaded if the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 6216/37 = 168 lb. What is the probability that the aircraft is​ overloaded

Answer:

The probability that the aircraft  is  overload = 0.9999

Yes , The pilot has to be take strict action .

Step-by-step explanation:

P.S - The exact question is -

Given - Before every​ flight, the pilot must verify that the total weight of the load is less than the maximum allowable load for the aircraft. The aircraft can carry 37 ​passengers, and a flight has fuel and baggage that allows for a total passenger load of 6,216 lb. The pilot sees that the plane is full and all passengers are men. The aircraft will be overloaded if the mean weight of the passengers is greater than 6216/37 = 168 lb. Assume that weight of men are normally distributed with a mean of 182.7 lb and a standard deviation of 39.6.

To find - What is the probability that the aircraft is​ overloaded ?

         Should the pilot take any action to correct for an overloaded aircraft ?

Proof -

Given that,

Mean, μ = 182.7

Standard Deviation, σ = 39.6

Now,

Let X be the Weight of the men

Now,

Probability that the aircraft is loaded be

P(X > 168 ) = P(\frac{x - \mu}{\sigma} > \frac{168 - \mu}{\sigma} )

                 = P( z > \frac{168 - 182.7}{39.6} )

                 = P( z > -0.371)

                 = 1 - P ( z ≤ -0.371 )

                 = 1 - P( z > 0.371)

                 = 1 - 0.00010363

                 = 0.9999

⇒P(X > 168) = 0.9999

As the probability of weight overload = 0.9999

So, The pilot has to be take strict action .

If you have a cubic polynomial of the form y = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d and lets say it passes through the points (2,28), (-1, -5),
nikklg [1K]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Solve using the first point</u>

<em>(2, 28)</em>

28 = a(2)^3 + b(2)^2 + c(2) + d

28 = 8a + 4b + 2c + d

<u>Step 2:  Solve using the second point</u>

<em>(-1, -5)</em>

-5 = a(-1)^3 + b(-1)^2 + c(-1) + d

-5 = -a + b - c + d

<u>Step 3:  Solve using the third point</u>

<em>(4, 220)</em>

220 = a(4)^3 + b(4)^2 + c(4) + d

220 = 64a + 16b + 4c + d

<u>Step 4:  Solve using the fourth point</u>

<em>(-2, -20)</em>

-20 = a(-2)^3 + b(-2)^2 + c(-2) + d

-20 = -8a + 4b - 2c + d

<u>Step 5:  Combine the first and fourth equations</u>

<u />28 - 20 = 8a - 8a + 4b + 4b + 2c - 2c + d + d

8 = 8b + 2d

8 - 8b = 8b - 8b + 2d

(8 -8b)/2 = 2d/2

4 - 4b = d

<u>Step 6:  Solve for c in the second equation</u>

-5 + 5 = -a + b - c + d + 5

0 + c = -a + b - c + c + d + 5

c = -a + b + d + 5

<u>Step 7:  Substitute d with the stuff we got in step 5</u>

c = -a + b + (4 - 4b) + 5

c = -a + b + 4 - 4b + 5

c = -a - 3b + 9

<u>Step 8:  Substitute d and c into the first equation</u>

<u />28 = 8a + 4b + 2(-a - 3b + 9) + (4 - 4b)

28 = 8a + 4b - 2a - 6b + 18 + 4 - 4b

28 - 22 = 6a - 6b + 22 - 22

6 / 6 = (6a - 6b) / 6

1 + b = a - b + b

1 + b = a

<u>Step 9:  Substitute a, b, and c into the third equation</u>

220 = 64(1 + b) + 16b + 4(-(1 + b) - 3b + 9) + (4 - 4b)

220 = 64 + 64b + 16b + 4(-1 - b - 3b + 9) + 4 - 4b

220 - 100 = 60b + 100 - 100

120 / 60 = 60b / 60

2 = b

<u>Step 10:  Find a using b = 2</u>

a = b + 1

a = (2) + 1

a = 3

<u>Step 11:  Find c using a = 3 and b = 2</u>

c = -a - 3b + 9

c = -(3) - 3(2) + 9

c = -3 - 6 + 9

c = 0

<u>Step 12:  Find d using b = 2</u>

d = 4 - 4b

d = 4 - 4(2)

d = 4 - 8

d = -4

Answer:  a = 3, b = 2, c = 0,d = -4

Graph the function y=<img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%7Bx%7D%20-2-5" id="TexFormula1" title="\sqrt{x} -2-5" alt="\sqrt{
Rashid [163]

Answer:

(3, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct equation is:

y=\sqrt{x-2}-5

From the list of given points, we have to identify which point lies on the graph. This can be done by using the value of x-coordinates from the given points and see if they result in the corresponding y-coordinate:

For point (1, 4)

y=\sqrt{1-2}-5=\sqrt{-1}-5, This is not equal to 4, so it does not lie on the graph of given function.

For point (3, -4)

y=\sqrt{3-2}-5=\sqrt{1}-5=-4, The answer ans corresponding y-coordinate are the same. This means, (3, -4) point lies on the graph of given function.

Likewise, checking for 3rd and 4th point we find out that they do not lie on the graph.

So the correct answer is (3, -4)
