- 48 seconds
- 3624 feet
========================================================
Explanation:
x = number of seconds that elapse
y = altitude (aka height) of the plane
The equation for plane A is
y = 20.25x+2652
because it starts off at 2652 ft in the air, and then adds on 20.25 feet per second which is what the 20.25x describes
The equation for plane B is
y = 75.5x
The y intercept is zero because plane B starts on the ground, aka height 0.
------------------
The system of equations is
If we want to know when they'll reach the same height (y), then we can set the two right hand sides equal to each other and solve for x.
75.5x = 20.25x+2652
75.5x-20.25x = 2652
55.25x = 2652
x = (2652)/(55.25)
x = 48
The two planes reach the same altitude at exactly <u>48 seconds</u>
That altitude is <u>3624 feet</u> because
- y = 20.25*x + 2652 = 20.25*48+2652 = 3624
- y = 75.5*x = 75.5*48 = 3624
Notice I plugged x = 48 into each equation and I got the same y value of y = 3624. This helps confirm the answers.
Answer:
0.3874 = 38.74% probability that exactly 9 of the 10 consumers recognize her brand name.
0.6126 = 61.26% probability that the number who recognize her brand name is not nine.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each consumer, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they recognize the name, or they do not. The probability of a customer recognizing the name is independent of anu other customer. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
In which is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
The brand name of Mrs. Fields (cookies) has a 90% recognition rate.
This means that .
Sample of 10
This means that
Find the probability that exactly 9 of the 10 consumers recognize her brand name.
This is P(X = 9). So
0.3874 = 38.74% probability that exactly 9 of the 10 consumers recognize her brand name.
Also, find the probability that the number who recognize her brand name is not nine.
1(100%) subtracted by those who recognize. So
1 - 0.3874 = 0.6126
0.6126 = 61.26% probability that the number who recognize her brand name is not nine.
