A missile protection system consists of n radar sets operating independently, each with probability 0.9 of detecting a missile e

ntering a zone that is covered by all of the units.a) Find a nice expression for the probability of detecting at least one of the sets detects the missile. (Tip: what is the probability, that a missile is not detected by any of the sets? - and what has this probabilityto do with the above?)b) How large must n be if we require that the probability of detecting a missile that enters the zone be 0.999 ? 0.999999 ?c) If n = 5 and a missile enters the zone, what is the probability that exactly 4 sets detect the missile?At least one set?

Answer:

A.) The probability that the missile is not detected by any of n sets = (1-0.9)^n = 0.1^n.

Where it's opposite will be that the missile is detected by atleast 1 of the sets. Which will be equals to 1-(0.1)^n.

B.) 0.999= 1-(0.1)^n

Here n=3

For, 0.999999=1-(0.1)^n

n=6.

C.) If n=5

5C4*(0.9)^4*(0.1)^1= 0.32805

Which ordered pair does not represent
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

b

Step-by-step explanation:

you can use trial and error to solve this btw that's what I used and once I got to answer choice b, i plugged in the 2 numbers into the equation based of of their axis once i did that the equation now looked like this 9=3+3, when you solve this the equation would then look like this 9=6 and we both know that 9 doesn't not equal 6 so that is your answer.

Klio2033 [76]
She worked 2 and 1/2 hours yesterday, and today she did 4 and 1/4 hours.

first off, let's check how many hours she worked total, and divide 54 by it.

so, first off, let's convert the mixed fractions to "improper" and add them up.

\bf \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{5}{2}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\stackrel{mixed}{4\frac{1}{4}}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 4+1}{4}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{17}{4}}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------

\bf \cfrac{5}{2}+\cfrac{17}{4}\impliedby \textit{our LCD will be 4}\implies \cfrac{(2\cdot 5)+(1\cdot 17)}{4}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{10+17}{4}\implies \cfrac{27}{4}\implies \stackrel{total~hours}{6\frac{3}{4}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{\stackrel{wages}{54}}{\stackrel{hours}{6\frac{3}{4}}}\implies \cfrac{54}{\frac{27}{4}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{54}{1}}{\frac{27}{4}}\implies \cfrac{54}{1}\cdot \cfrac{4}{27}\implies \cfrac{216}{27}\implies 8~\frac{\$}{hr}
