Suppose that the space shuttle has three separate computer control systems: the main system and two backup duplicates of it. The first backup would monitor the main system and kick in if the main system failed. Similarly, the second backup would monitor the first. We can assume that a failure of one system is independent of a failure of another system, since the systems are separate. The probability of failure for any one system on any one mission is known to be 0.01.
(a) Find the probability that the shuttle is left with no computer control system on a mission. (Enter your answer to six decimal places.)
(b) How many backup systems does the space shuttle need if the probability that the shuttle is left with no computer control system on a mission must be
1
one hundred thousand
(Enter your answer as a whole number.)
_____ backup systems.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 0.000001 = 0.0001% probability that the shuttle is left with no computer control system on a mission.

b) 3 backup systems are needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each system, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it works, or is does not. Systems are independent. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution 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.

Three separate computer control systems

This means that [tex]n = 3[/tex]

The probability of failure for any one system on any one mission is known to be 0.01.

So the probability of working is:

[tex]p = 1 - 0.01 = 0.99[/tex]

(a) Find the probability that the shuttle is left with no computer control system on a mission. (Enter your answer to six decimal places.)

This is [tex]P(X = 0)[/tex]

So

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

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{3,0}.(0.99)^{0}.(0.01)^{3} = 0.000001[/tex]

0.000001 = 0.0001% probability that the shuttle is left with no computer control system on a mission.

(b) How many backup systems does the space shuttle need if the probability that the shuttle is left with no computer control system on a mission must be 1 over one hundred thousand

This is n for which:

[tex]P(X = 0) < \frac{1}{100000} = 0.00001[/tex]

With 2 backup systems, the probability is lower than this, so lets see if with only two is possible.

We find [tex]P(X = 0)[/tex] when [tex]n = 2[/tex]. So

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

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{2,0}.(0.99)^{0}.(0.01)^{2} = 0.0001 > 0.00001[/tex]

So 3 backup systems are needed.

A consumer products company is formulating a new shampoo and is interested in foam height (in millimeters). Foam height is approximately normally distributed and has a standard deviation of 20 millimeters. The company wishes to test Upper H Subscript 0 Baseline colon mu equals 175 millimeters versus Upper H Subscript 1 Baseline colon mu greater-than 175 millimeters, using the results of n equals 4 samples. Calculate the P-value if the observed statistic is

Answers

Answer:

The p-value of the observed statistic is 0.15866

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters of the system are;

The standard deviation of the foam height, σ = 20 mm

The null hypothesis, H₀; μ = 175 mm

The alternative hypothesis, Hₐ; μ > 175 mm

The number of observations that make the sample, n = 4

The observed statistic, [tex]\overline x[/tex] = 185

The test statistic is given as follows;

[tex]Z=\dfrac{\bar{x}-\mu }{\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

Therefore, we get;

[tex]Z=\dfrac{185-175 }{\dfrac{20}{\sqrt{4}}} = 1[/tex]

P(Z > 1) = 1 - P(Z < 1) = 1 - 0.84134 = 0.15866

The p-value of the observed statistic = 0.15866

If function f is written as a piecewise function, which piece will it include?

B. x + 3, x > -3
C. -x + 3, x < -3
D. -x - 3, x < 3

Answers

Answer:

B) x + 3, x > -3

Step-by-step explanation:

I just took a test with this question on it and got it right.

Hope this helps! :)

If function f is written as a piecewise function, it will include x + 3, x > -3

The absolute value function is given as:

f(x) = | x + 3 |

Given that the function is an absolute value function, this means that:

|x + 3| > 0

Remove the absolute sign

x + 3 > 0

Subtract 3 from both sides

x > -3

Hence, if function f is written as a piecewise function, it will include x + 3, x > -3

ou are interested in estimating the the mean age of the citizens living in your community. In order to do this, you plan on constructing a confidence interval; however, you are not sure how many citizens should be included in the sample. If you want your sample estimate to be within 4 years of the actual mean with a confidence level of 96%, how many citizens should be included in your sample

Answers

Answer:

[tex](\frac{4\sigma}{2.056})^2[/tex], rounded up, if needed, citizens should be included in the sample, in which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our [tex]\alpha[/tex] level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

[tex]\alpha = \frac{1 - 0.96}{2} = 0.02[/tex]

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of [tex]1 - \alpha[/tex].

That is z with a pvalue of [tex]1 - 0.02 = 0.98[/tex], so Z = 2.056.

Now, find the margin of error M as such

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

In which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

Within 4 years of the actual mean

We have to find n for which M = 4. So

[tex]M = z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]4 = 2.056\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]2.056\sqrt{n} = 4\sigma[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{n} = \frac{4\sigma}{2.056}[/tex]

[tex](\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{4\sigma}{2.056})^2[/tex]

[tex]n = (\frac{4\sigma}{2.056})^2[/tex]

[tex](\frac{4\sigma}{2.056})^2[/tex], rounded up, if needed, citizens should be included in the sample, in which [tex]\sigma[/tex] is the standard deviation of the population.

Dmitri wants to cover the top and sides of this box with glass tiles that are 1 cm square. How many tiles
will he need?
7 cm
14 cm
Dmitri will need
23 cm
glass tiles.

Answers

Answer:

372

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the dimensions of the box are,

Length = 15 cm, Width = 20 cm and Height = 9 cm.

We know that the box represents a cuboid.

Since, surface area of a cuboid = L×W + 2×L×H + 2×W×H

Thus, the surface area of the box = 15×20 + 2×15×9 + 2×20×9

i.e. Surface area = 300 + 270 + 360

i.e. Surface area = 930.

Thus, the surface area of the box is 930 cm² i.e. 9300 mm².

Further, the sides of the tiles are 5 mm and the tile represents a square.

So, the surface area of the tile = 5 × 5 = 25 mm².

This gives us that,

Number of tiles required to cover the box =  = 372.

Hence, Dmitri requires 372 tiles to cover the box.
