SITUATION 3The probabilities that a satellite launching rocket will explode during lift-off or have its guidance system fail inflight are 0.0002 and 0.0005, respectively. Assuming independence find the probabilities that such a rocketwill(a) not explode during lift-off;(b) explode during lift-off or have its guidance system fail in flight;(c) neither explode during lift-off nor have its guidance system fail in flight.

here define events Rocket will explode during lift -off = A Guidance System fail in flight = B

Answered: (a) not explode during lift-off; (b)…

2. Bombardier Aerospace is the third largest airplane manufacturer in the world and has its main headquarters in Dorval, Québec. The Dash 8 series of turboprop airliners are built by Bombardier and are designed to need very short takeoff and landing strips. Suppose that a Dash 8 airplane is travelling from Edmonton to Kelowna, a trip of about 600 km (by air), at a speed of 450 km/h. Let w represent the speed of the wind, in kilometres per hour, where w is positive for a tailwind and negative for a headwind, and t represent the time, in hours, it takes to fly. The equation that represents t as a function of w is as follows: t = 500 w+ 400
A type of small snail is very widespread in Japan, and colonies of the snails that are genetically similar have been found very far apart. Scientists wondered how the snails could travel such long distances. A recent study provides. the answer. Biologist Shinichiro Wada fed 174 live snails to birds and found that 26 of the snails were excreted live out the other end. The snails appar- ently are able to seal their shells shut to keep the digestive fluids from getting in. Estimate the standard error (use the standard deviation in the picture for the standard error) question 2: Use the standard error from part (b) to find a 95% confidence interval for the proportion of all snails of this type to live after being eaten by a bird. Write both ends of your interval as percents,
An industrial concern has experimented with several different mixtures of the fourcomponents—magnesium, sodium nitrate, strontium nitrate, and a binder—that comprise arocket propellant. The company has found that two mixtures, in particular, give higher flare illumination values than the others. Mixture 1 consists of a blend composed of the proportions.40, .10, .42, and .08, respectively, for the four components of the mixture; mixture 2 consists ofa blend using the proportions .60, .25, .10, and .05. Twenty different blends (10 of each mixture)are prepared and tested to obtain the flare-illumination values. These data appear here (in unitsof 1,000 candles).Mixture 1 185 192 201 215 170 190 175 172 198 202Mixture 2 221 210 215 202 204 196 225 230 214 217a. Plot the sample data. Which test(s) could be used to compare the meanillumination values for the two mixtures?b. Give the level of significance of the test and interpret your findings
