In a home theater system, the probability that the video components need repair within 1 year is 0.02, the probability that the

electronic components need repair within 1 year is 0.007, and the probability that the audio components need repair within 1 year is 0.001. Assuming that the events are independent, find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)
(a) At least one of these components will need repair within 1 year
(b) Exactly one of these component will need repair within 1 year

Answer:

(a) The probability that at least one of these components will need repair within 1 year is 0.0278.

(b) The probability that exactly one of these component will need repair within 1 year is 0.0277.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

<em>A</em> = video components need repair within 1 year

<em>B</em> = electronic components need repair within 1 year

<em>C</em> = audio components need repair within 1 year

The information provided is:

P (A) = 0.02

P (B) = 0.007

P (C) = 0.001

The events <em>A</em>, <em>B</em> and <em>C</em> are independent.

(a)

Compute the probability that at least one of these components will need repair within 1 year as follows:

P (At least 1 component needs repair)

= 1 - P (No component needs repair)

=1-P(A^{c}\cap B^{c}\cap C^{c})\\=1-[P(A^{c})\times P(B^{c})\times P(C^{c})]\\=1-[(1-0.02)\times (1-0.007)\times (1-0.001)]\\=1-0.97216686\\=0.02783314\\\approx 0.0278

Thus, the probability that at least one of these components will need repair within 1 year is 0.0278.

(b)

Compute the probability that exactly one of these component will need repair within 1 year as follows:

P (Exactly 1 component needs repair)

= P (A or B or C)

=P(A\cap B^{c}\cap C^{c})+P(A^{c}\cap B\cap C^{c})+P(A^{c}\cap B^{c}\cap C)\\=[0.02\times (1-0.007)\times (1-0.001)]+[(1-0.02)\times 0.007\times (1-0.001)]\\+[(1-0.02)\times (1-0.007)\times 0.001]\\=0.02766642\\\approx 0.0277

Thus, the probability that exactly one of these component will need repair within 1 year is 0.0277.

10.5% of the population is 65 or older. Find the probability that the following number of persons selected at random from 25 peo
julia-pushkina [17]

Given:

The sample size n=25

Probability of population is 65 or older is 10.5%.

This date follows the binomial distribution,

\begin{gathered} n=25,p=0.105 \\ X\rightarrow B(n=25,p=0.105) \end{gathered}

To find the probability that at most 2 are 65 or older,

\begin{gathered} P(X=x)=^nC_x(p)^x(1-p)^{n-x} \\ P(0\leq X\leq2)=P(X=0)+P(X=1)+P(X=2) \\ =^{25}C_0(0.105)^0(1-0.105)^{25-0}+^{25}C_1(0.105)^1(1-0.105)^{25-1}+^{25}C_2(0.105)^2(1-0.105)^{25-2} \\ =0.0625+0.1832+0.2579 \\ =0.5036 \\ \approx0.504 \end{gathered}

Answer: Probability is 0.504 .

Ryan bought 6 apples and 9 peaches for a total of $7.86. Madi bought 4 apples and 5 peaches for $4.82.
sergey [27]
Let's call:
a = price of 1 apple
p = price of 1 peach

The total cost is the price of 1 apple times the number of apples plus the price of 1 peach times the number of peaches, therefore the system can be:
\left \{ {{6a + 9p = 7.86} \atop {4a + 5p = 4.82}} \right.

Solve for a in the second equation (you can choose to solve for any of the variables in any of the equations, try to understand what is the best):
a = (4.82 - 5p) / 4

Now, substitute in the first equation:
6 · (4.82 - 5p) / 4 + 9p = 7.86
7.23 - (15/2)p + 9p = 7.86
(3/2)p = 0.63
p = 0.42

Now, substitute this value in the formula found for a:
<span>a = (4.82 - 5·0.42) / 4</span>
   = 0.68

Therefore, one apple costs 0.68$ and one peach costs 0.42$.
