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?

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

Step-by-step explanation:
We have to find the slope of a straight line through points (-5,-10) and (-1,5).
Now. we know the slope of a straight line through the points () and (
) is given by
.
So, in our case () ≡ (-5,-10) and (
) ≡ (-1,5).
Therefore, the slope of the line is (Answer)
First, let's deal with the fraction in the denominator of the exponent. Multiply the top and bottom of the exponent by 6.
Now that the fraction in the denominator is taken care of, we can reduce the denominator.
. Some professors might accept this as simplest form, but others might ask you to get rid of the negative.
