Isabella built a time travel machine, but she can't control the destination of her trip. Each time she uses the machine she has a 0.25
0.250, point, 25 probability of traveling to a time before she was born. During the first year of testing, Isabella uses her machine
5
55 times.
Assuming that each trip is equally likely to travel before Isabella was born, what is the probability that at least one trip will travel before Isabella was born?
Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

the probability that at least one trip will travel before Isabella was born is 0.7627

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , Isabella built a time travel machine, but she can't control the destination of her trip. Each time she uses the machine she has a 0.25 point, probability of traveling to a time before she was born. During the first year of testing, Isabella uses her machine 5 times. Assuming that each trip is equally likely to travel before Isabella was born, We need to find what is the probability that at least one trip will travel before Isabella was born . Let's find out:

Isabella have probability of traveling to a time before she was born of 0.25

Probability of not travelling any time before Isabella was born , given that time machine is used 5 times   :

⇒

⇒

⇒

Probability that at least one trip will travel before Isabella was born is equivalent to  1 - Probability of not travelling any time before Isabella was born i.e.

⇒

⇒

Therefore , the probability that at least one trip will travel before Isabella was born is 0.7627

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
