Two pumps connected in parallel fail independently of one another on any given day. The probability that only the older pump wil

l fail is .10, and the probability that only the newer pump will fail is .05. What is the probability that the pump- ing system will fail on any given day (which happens if both pumps fail)?

Answer : Probability that the pumping system will fail on any given day = 0.005

Explanation:

Probability that only older pump fail = P(A) = 0.10

Probability that only newer pump fail = P(B) = 0.05

Since they are independent events ,

then the conditions will be

P(A∩B) = P(A). P(B)

             = 0.10 ×0.05

             =  0.005

Hence, the probability will fail on any given day = 0.005

How do you solve this? 18 " n=21
dalvyx [7]
18 ^{n} =21

log(18) ^{n}=log(21)

n*log(18)=log(21)

n= \frac{log(21)}{log(18)}

n=1.053

The quarterback of a football team releases a pass at a height of 6 feet above the playing field, and the football is caught by
motikmotik

Answer:

t = 25.1seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

X(t)= 16cos75°t

Y(t)= 6 + (Vosin75°t - 16t^2)

Converting 78 yards to feet :

1 yard = 3 feet

78feet =?

78×3=234 feet

Y(t)= number of feet above the ground at t seconds

VoCos75° t = 234

t = 234/(VoCos75°)

At this time,4 = y(234/VoCos75°)

4 = 6 + VoSin75°(234/VoCos75) - 16(234/VoCos75°)^2

Vo= 140.66ft/s

Time,t= 234/(140.66× Cos75°)

t = 25.087seconds

t= 25.1 seconds (1 decimal place)
