Harold and Maude plan to take a cruise together, but they live in separate cities. The cruise departs from Miami, and they each book a flight to arrive in Miami an hour before they need to be on the ship. Their travel planner explains that Harold's flight has an 80% chance of making it on time for him to get o the ship and that Maude's flight has a 90% chance of making it on time. Assume that the event of Harold making it on time is independent of the event of Maude making it on time. What is the probability that at least one of Harold and Maude will make it to the cruise

98% probability that at least one of Harold and Maude will make it to the cruise

Step-by-step explanation:

Independent probabilities:

When two events are independent, the probability of the two events happening simultaneously is the multiplication of each probability.

Probability that none makes it to the cruise:

Harold's flight has an 80% chance of making it, so 100 - 80 = 20% probability of missing.

Maude's flight has a 90% chance of making it on time, so 100 - 90 = 10% probability of missing.

Both missing: 0.2*0.1 = 0.02.

2% probability of both missing.

Probability that at least one makes it to the cruise:

Either both miss, or at least one makes it. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 100%. So

2 + p = 100

p = 98%

98% probability that at least one of Harold and Maude will make it to the cruise

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0

the population of other specie of birds will decline or other specie of birds will find some alternate source of food to survive.

explanation:

according to the competitive exclusion principle, which is also known as gause's law, two specie living in the same niche and feeding on the same resource cannot co-exist stably.

as we have well studied the theory of natural selection which states that only those organisms survive which have better tendency to compete for food and adapt to the environmental conditions.

coming towards the question, what wi ll happen when one species outcompetes the other for the small fish , the other specie will not get enough food and will start to die or decline in population. eventually either other specie needs to find another alternative food source for itself or migrate at some other location where there is less competition otherwise it will just not exist anymore at that niche.

hope it !
