A helicopter and a plane can make a safe landing if at least half of its engines are working properly. Suppose that engine failures are independent events. Determine whether a two engine helicopter or a four engine plane is safer if the chance that an engine fails is 1 in 100?

I'm going to make an uneducated guess here.

I think the probability of two engines failing would be the same for either aircraft. In the instance that does happen, the helicopter doesn't fly at all and the airplane does.

I say the airplane is safer.

Step-by-step explanation:

function 2 has a greater rate of change than function 1

function 2 has a greater y-intercept than function 1

step-by-step explanation:

b. 1.25 hr

step-by-step explanation:

if you have a constant speed of 60 mph, then you have a ratio between 60 mi. to 1 hr. dividing both sides by 60 we get the ratio

1 mi. to

then mult. both sides by 75 we get the ratio

75 mi. to

simplifying we get

75 mi. to

or 1.25 hr.
