A nuclear power plant has two independent safety systems. The probability the first will not operate properly in an emergency P

(A) is 0.01, and the probability the second will not operate P (B) in an emergency is 0.03. What is the probability that in an emergency both of the safety systems will not operate?

Step-by-step explanation:

they are independent systems, so in case of an emergency both systems will activate.

this is like rolling 2 dice and asking for the probability that both will show 1.

the probability that both will fail is the product of the individual probabilities for failure :

0.01 × 0.03 = 0.0003

so, the third answer option is correct.

FYI - the probability for 2 dice to both roll 1 is

1/6 × 1/6 = 1/36

Examine the expression. 17x - 34 Which is an equivalent expression? O 17*(1 + ) O 17x (1-2) O 17+(1-1) O 17*(1 + 2)​
mixer [17]

Answer:

17(x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

17x - 34

We are to factorize it

Get their factors

17x = 17 * x

34 = 17 * 2

Since 17 is common to both factors, hence 17 is the GCF

17x - 34 = 17(x - 2)

Hence the equivalent expression is 17(x-2)

Which of the following parametric equations are equivalent to the polar equation r=3 cos theta
Allushta [10]
To solve the problem you must know that to change from Cartesian to polar coordinates you must write:
 x = rcos (θ)
 Where "r" is the radius
 Likewise y = rsin (θ)
 Therefore, in the expression r = 3cos (θ) one can write r as:
 r = x / cos (θ)
 So:
 x / cos (θ) = 3cos (θ)
 x = 3cos ^ 2 (θ)
 The same for y ...
 y = rsin (θ)
 y = 3cos (θ) sin (θ).

  Finally the correct answer is option 2.
 x = 3cos ^ 2 (θ) y = 3cos (θ) sin (θ).
