A complex electronic system is built with a certain number of backup components in its subsystems. One subsystem has eight identical components, each with a probability of 0.1 of failing in less than 1,000 hours. The sub system will operate if any four of the eight components are operating. Assume that the components operate independently. Find the probability that
a. exactly two of the four components last longer than 1000 hours.
b. the subsystem operates longer than 1000 hours.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.0486 = 4.86% probability that exactly two of the four components last longer than 1000 hours.

b) 0.9996 = 99.96% probability that the subsystem operates longer than 1000 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each component, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they last more than 1,000 hours, or they do not. Components operate independently, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

One subsystem has eight identical components, each with a probability of 0.1 of failing in less than 1,000 hours.

So 1 - 0.1 = 0.9 probability of working for more, which means that [tex]p = 0.9[/tex]

a. exactly two of the four components last longer than 1000 hours.

This is P(X = 2) when [tex]n = 4[/tex]. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{4,2}.(0.9)^{2}.(0.1)^{2} = 0.0486[/tex]

0.0486 = 4.86% probability that exactly two of the four components last longer than 1000 hours.

b. the subsystem operates longer than 1000 hours.

The subsystem has 8 components, which means that [tex]n = 8[/tex]

It will operate if at least 4 components are working correctly, so we want:

[tex]P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X < 4)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)[/tex]

So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{8,0}.(0.9)^{0}.(0.1)^{8} \approx 0[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 1) = C_{8,1}.(0.9)^{1}.(0.1)^{7} \approx 0tex]

[tex]P(X = 2) = C_{8,2}.(0.9)^{2}.(0.1)^{6} \approx 0[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 3) = C_{8,3}.(0.9)^{3}.(0.1)^{5} = 0.0004[/tex]

Then

[tex]P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0 + 0 + 0 + 0.0004 = 0.0004[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X < 4) = 1 - 0.0004 = 0.9996[/tex]

0.9996 = 99.96% probability that the subsystem operates longer than 1000 hours.

Owner-operators may take in over $260,000 in gross revenue, but once you deduct expenses, maintenance and all of the costs that go along with running a truck, many don’t earn much more than experienced company drivers. It costs about $180,000 per year to run a commercial truck. Operating costs in the trucking industry are about $1.38 per mile.

A 10 ft board is to be cut into three pieces, two equal- length ones and the third 9 in shorter than each of the other two. If the cutting does not result in any length being lost, how long are the pieces?

Answers

Answer:

Let  x  represent one of the equal length sides making the third side which is  3  inches shorter than each of the other two equal to:

Third piece  =  x − 3 . Knowing that the whole board is  10  feet, in inches it is:

10  feet  ×  12  inches / 1  foot  =  120  inches

To find the length of the pieces, add them and equate it to the legth of the board in inches as shown below:

x  +  x  +  x  −  3  =  120  + 3

3 x /3  =  123 /3

x  =  41  inches

Third piece  =  x  −  3  =  

41  −  3  

=  38  inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Hannah and Corrine are playing a game by rolling two cubes, each numbered 1 through 6. If the sum of the numbers on the cubes is 7, Hannah wins. If the sum is not 7, Corrine wins. Corrine says Hannah can win only if the following occurs:
1 on the first cube, 6 on the second cube
2 on the first cube, 5 on the second cube
3 on the first cube, 4 on the second cube

Which best explains if Corrine is correct?

Corrine is correct because there are only three ways to have a sum of 7 when the cubes are rolled.

Corrine is correct because there are no 7s on the cubes, so Hannah must roll a greater number on the second cube.

Corrine is not correct because Hannah can also roll doubles on the cubes, such as 3 on the first cube and 3 on the second cube or 4 on the first cube and 4 on the second cube.

Corrine is not correct because Hannah also wins if 6 is on the first cube and 1 is on the second, if 5 is on the first cube and 2 is on the second, and if 4 is on the first cube and 3 is on the second.

Answers

D. Corrine is not correct because Hannah also wins if 6 is on the first cube and 1 is on the second, if 5 is on the first cube and 2 is on the second, and if 4 is on the first cube and 3 is on the second.

Step-by-step explanation:

To get a sum of 7 by rolling two cubes, we need to get one of the combinations from the list below:

1 on the first cube, 6 on the second cube

or

6 on the first cube, 1 on the second cube

2 on the first cube, 5 on the second cube

or

5 on the first cube, 2 on the second cube

3 on the first cube, 4 on the second cube

or

4 on the first cube, 3 on the second cube

Therefore, the correct answer option is D. Corrine is not correct because Hannah also wins if 6 is on the first cube and 1 is on the second, if 5 is on the first cube and 2 is on the second, and if 4 is on the first cube and 3 is on the second.

Answer:

x = 51

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure shown is a pentagon

The angles in a pentagon add up to equal 540

Which means that 77 + 107 + 156 + 149 + x = 540

                                    ^ ( note that we just created an equation that we can      

                                        use to solve for x )

We then solve for x using that equation

77 + 107 + 156 + 149 + x = 540  

step 1 combine like terms

77 + 107 + 156 + 149 = 489

we now have 489 + x = 540

step 2 subtract 489 from each side

489 - 489 cancels out

540 - 489 = 51

we're left with x = 51

What is the volume of the cylinder below?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Volume=80\pi[/tex] [tex]units^{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular height of the base of cylinder h = 5 units

Slant height I = 6 units

Radius of the cylinder r = 4 units

Volume of the lateral cylinder is

[tex]V = \pi r^{2} h[/tex]-----------(1)

Where r is radius of the cylinder

And h is perpendicular height of the base of cylinder.

Now, we substitute r and h value in equation 1.

[tex]V=\pi[/tex] × [tex]4^{2}[/tex] × [tex]5[/tex]

[tex]V=\pi[/tex] × [tex]16[/tex] x [tex]5[/tex]

[tex]V=\pi[/tex] × [tex]80[/tex]

[tex]V=80\pi[/tex] [tex]units^{2}[/tex]

Therefore, the volume of the given cylinder is [tex]80\pi[/tex] [tex]units^2[/tex].

Answer:

x = 15.01

Step-by-step explanation:

Given degrees 25

Since x is between the right angle and 25, x is adjacent

7 being the other shortest side would be the opposite

Given adjacent and opposite, you can use tangent

Tangent = opposite/adjacent

Tan(25) = 7/x
