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.

What is an exterior angle?

The angle made by the two lines of the figure which lie on the outside of the closed figure is called the exterior angle.

The exterior angle is the sum of the two opposite internal angles of any figure.

The exterior angle in the given figure will be equal to x = a+b the sum of the two opposite interior angles.

Answers

Answer:

Variable form: x=24 and x=1

Point form: (24,0) and (1,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x² - 25x + 24

0 = x² - 25x + 24

0 = (x-24)(x-1)

0 = x - 24 and x - 1 = 0

24 = x and x = 1

Therefore, the zeroes of the function are (24,0) and (1,0)

The solution is:

the first graph is positive correlation

The second is No correlation

The third is positive correlation

The fourth is negative correlation.

Here, we have,

each correlation would mean:

A positive correlation : As one variable increases, so does the other

In other words, the line would be going 'up'

A negative correlation : As one variable increases, the other decreases

In other words, the line would be going 'down'

No correlation : there is no connection between the two

In a visual way, you won't be able to see a 'line'.

so, from the given graph we get,

What are the mean absolute deviation and population standard deviation of this data set? Round to the nearest tenth if necessary. 2, 4, 6, 9, 14

Answers

Answer:

For a data set of N elements:

{x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ}

The mean is:

[tex]M = \frac{x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n}{N}[/tex]

The mean absolute deviation is:

[tex]MAD = \frac{|x_1 - M| + ... + |x_n - M|}{N}[/tex]

And the population standard deviation is:

[tex]PSD = \frac{\sqrt{|x_1 - M|^2 + ... + |x_n - M|^2} }{\sqrt{N}}[/tex]

In this case, our set has 5 elements, and the set is:

{2, 4, 6, 9, 14}

The mean of this set is:

[tex]M = \frac{2 + 4 + 6 + 9 + 14}{5} = 7[/tex]

The mean absolute deviation is:

[tex]MAD = \frac{|2 - 7| + |4 - 7| + |6 - 7|+ |9 - 7| + |14 - 7| }{5} = 3.6[/tex]

And the population standard deviation is:

The mathematics faculty at a college consists of 11 professors, 12 associate professors, 7 assistant professors, and 6 instructorsIf faculty member is selected , find the probability of choosing a professor or an instructor

Answers

Answer:

The probability of choosing a professor or an instructor is 47.22%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the mathematics faculty at a college consists of 11 professors, 12 associate professors, 7 assistant professors, and 6 instructors, if a faculty member is selected, to find the probability of choosing a professor or an instructor the following calculation must be performed:

11 + 12 + 7 + 6 = 100

11 + 6 = X

36 = 100

17 = X

17 x 100/36 = X

1700/36 = X

47.22 = X

The probability of choosing a professor or an instructor is 47.22%.
