Seventy-six percent of the light aircraft that disappear while in flight in a certain country are subsequently discovered. Of the aircraft that are discovered, 67% have an emergency locator, whereas 88% of the aircraft not discovered do not have such a locator. Suppose a light aircraft has disappeared. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

Required:
a. If it has an emergency locator, what is the probability that it will not be discovered?
b. If it does not have an emergency locator, what is the probability that it will be discovered?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 0.0535 = 5.35% probability that it will not be discovered

b. 0.9465 = 94.65% probability that it will be discovered

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}[/tex]

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

[tex]P(A \cap B)[/tex] is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

a. If it has an emergency locator, what is the probability that it will not be discovered?

Event A: Has an emergency locator.

Event B: Not discovered.

Probability of having an emergency locator:

67% of 76%(discovered).

100 - 88 = 12% of 100 - 76 = 24%(not discovered). So

[tex]P(A) = 0.67*0.76 + 0.12*0.24 = 0.538[/tex]

Probability of having an emergency locator and not being discovered:

12% of 24%. So

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.12*0.24[/tex]

Desired probability:

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.12*0.24}{0.538} = 0.0535[/tex]

0.0535 = 5.35% probability that it will not be discovered.

b. If it does not have an emergency locator, what is the probability that it will be discovered?

Event A: Has an emergency locator.

Event B: Discovered.

Probability of having an emergency locator:

67% of 76%(discovered).

100 - 88 = 12% of 100 - 76 = 24%(not discovered). So

[tex]P(A) = 0.67*0.76 + 0.12*0.24 = 0.538[/tex]

Probability of having an emergency locator not being discovered:

67% of 76%. So

[tex]P(A \cap B) = 0.67*0.76[/tex]

Desired probability:

[tex]P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.67*0.76}{0.538} = 0.9465[/tex]

0.9465 = 94.65% probability that it will be discovered

Answer:c i just took the test

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 13 ft long. The longer leg is 7 ft longer than the shorter leg. Find the side lengths of the triangle.

Answers

Answer:

The shorter leg is five feet, the longer leg is 12 feet, and the hypotenuse is 13 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shorter leg be x.

Since the longer leg is seven feet longer than the shorter leg, the length of the longer leg can be modeled by (x + 7).

Since the triangle is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem, given by:

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

Where a and b are the side lengths and c is the hypotenuse.

The hypotenuse is 13 and the legs are x and (x + 7). Substitute:

[tex](x)^2+(x+7)^2=(13)^2[/tex]

Square:

[tex]x^2+x^2+14x+49=169[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]2x^2+14x-120=0[/tex]

We can divide both sides by two:

[tex]x^2+7x-60=0[/tex]

Factor:

[tex](x-5)(x+12)=0[/tex]

Zero Product Property:

[tex]x-5=0\text{ or }x+12=0[/tex]

Solve for each case:

[tex]x=5\text{ or } x=-12[/tex]

Since lengths cannot be negative, we can ignore the negative answer. So, our only solution is:

[tex]x=5[/tex]

The shorter leg is five feet, the longer leg will be (5 + 7) or 12 feet. And the hypotenuse is 13 feet as given.

Question 2
Find the volume.

Answers

Answer:

Volume of cone = 686π/3 or 718.67 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Radius, r = 7 in

Height, h = 14 inches

From the diagram, we can see that the object is a cone

To find the volume of a cone;

Mathematically, the volume of a cone is given by the formula;

[tex] V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h[/tex]

Where;

V is the volume of the cone.

r is the radius of the base of the cone.

h is the height of the cone.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex] Volume = \frac{1}{3} * \frac {22}{7} *7^{2}*14 [/tex]

[tex] Volume = \frac{1}{3} * 22 * 7 * 14 [/tex]

[tex] Volume = \frac{1}{3} * 2156 [/tex]

[tex] Volume = 718.67 [/tex]

Volume of cone = 718.67 in³ or 686π/3 in³

Geometric sequence:

In a geometric sequence, the quotient between consecutive terms is always the same, called common ratio, and the sequence is given by:

[tex]a_n = a_1(q)^{n-1}[/tex]

In which [tex]a_1[/tex] is the first term and q is the common ratio.

We are given the following sequence:

[tex]a_1 = 1[/tex]

[tex]a_n = 4a_{n-1}[/tex]

So

[tex]a_2 = 4a_1 = 4[/tex]

[tex]a_3 = 4a_2 = 16[/tex]

[tex]a_4 = 4a_3 = 64[/tex]

That is, the quotient between consecutive terms is 4, so [tex]q = 4[/tex].

The first term is already given, [tex]a_1 = 1[/tex]. So

[tex]a_n = a_1(q)^{n-1}[/tex]

[tex]a_n = 1(4)^{n-1}[/tex]

And thus, the correct answer is given by option A.

8x = 48

x = 6

10 - 2y = 32

solve for y,

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is :

[tex]2x^2y^3+4x^2y^5[/tex]

We need to find the greatest common  factor of the expression.

The first term is [tex]2x^2y^3[/tex]

The other term is [tex]4x^2y^5[/tex]

[tex]2x^2y^3[/tex] is common in both terms. So,

[tex]2x^2y^3(1+2y^2)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A Driver’s Ed program is curious if the time of year has an impact on number of car accidents in the U.S. They assumethat weather may have a significant impact on the ability of drivers to control their vehicles. They take a randomsample of 150 car accidents and record the season each occurred in. They found that 27 occurred in the Spring, 39 inthe Summer, 31 in the Fall, and 53 in the Winter.

Required:
Can it be concluded at the 0.05 level of significance that caraccidents are not equally distributed throughout the year?

Answers

Answer:

p-value = 0.0145

Hence, Since p-value ( 0.0145 ) is less than significance level ( 0.05 )

we reject null hypothesis.

Therefore, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that Car accidents are NOT equally distributed throughout the year

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Hypothesis;

Null hypothesis             : H₀ : Car accidents are equally distributed throughout the year

Alternative hypothesis : Hₐ : Car accidents are NOT equally distributed throughout the year

significance level ∝ = 0.05

x ;

Spring = 27

Summer = 39

Fall = 31

Winter = 53

Test Statistics;

Chi Square = ∑[ (O – E)²/E ]

                         O               E                   (O – E)²/E

Spring               27            37.4                2.94

Summer            39            37.4                0.06

Fall                    31             37.4                1.1267

Winter               53            37.4                6.4067

Total                 150           150                 10.5334

so; z = ∑[ (O – E)²/E ] = 10.5334

{from table}

p-value = 0.0145

Hence, Since p-value ( 0.0145 ) is less than significance level ( 0.05 )

we reject null hypothesis.

Therefore, there is sufficient evidence to conclude that Car accidents are NOT equally distributed throughout the year

In this exercise we have to use probability knowledge to calculate the distribution during the year, so we find that:

There is sufficient evidence to conclude that car accidents are not equally distributed throughout the year.

Given the data in the question;

[tex]Null \ hypothesis: H_0[/tex][tex]Alternative \ hypothesis : H_a[/tex]  [tex]Significance\ level = 0.05[/tex]

Now the values ​​given in the statement can be exemplified below as:

[tex]Spring = 27[/tex][tex]Summer = 39[/tex][tex]Fall = 31[/tex][tex]Winter = 53[/tex]

In this way, we can assemble a table of values ​​with the statistical data previously informed and using the formula given below:

[tex]Z=\sum[\frac{(O-E)^2}{E}][/tex]

[tex]Z = 10.5334[/tex]

So:

[tex]\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ O \ \ \ \ \ E \ \ \ \ (O - E)^2/E\\Spring \ \ 27 \ \ 37.4 \ \ \ \ 2.94\\Summer \ 39 \ 37.4 \ \ \ \ 0.06\\Fall \ \ \ \ \ \ 31 \ 37.4 \ \ \ \ 1.1267\\Winter \ \ \ 53 \ 37.4 \ \ \ 6.4067\\Total \ 150 150 \ 10.5334[/tex]

Hence, Since pvalue ( 0.0145 ) is less than significance level ( 0.05 ), so we reject null hypothesis.
