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

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

How to compare 2 5/9 and 21/3
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

2 5/9 is less than 21/3;  2 5/9 < 21/3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Convert 2 5/9 into an improper fraction</u>

2 5/9 = 2 * 9/9 + 5/9 = 18/9 + 5/9 = 23/9

<u>Step 2:  Convert 21/3 so the denominator is 9</u>

21*3 / 3*3 = 63/9

<u>Step 3:  Compare</u>

<em>23/9 < 63/9</em>

<em />

Answer:  2 5/9 is less than 21/3;  2 5/9 < 21/3

Max can type 160 words in 5 minutes. How long would it take him to type 400 words? * A. 12.50 minB. 13 minC. 10.50 minD. 12 min
blagie [28]
To find how long it would take him, one has to divide 400 by 160 and then multiply 5 by what that number is. You multiply 5 by the quotient because that is the number that would make it proportional. 400/160 x 5 is 12.5, meaning that the answer is 12.5 minutes, or A.
