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.

The sequence is geometric, so

a_n = r a_{n-1}

for some constant r. From this rule, it follows that

a_3 = r a_2 \implies 20 = 2r \implies r = 10

and we can determine the first term to be

a_2 = r a_1 \implies 2 = 10 a_1 \implies a_1 = \dfrac15

Now, by substitution we have

a_n = r a_{n-1} = r^2 a_{n-2} = r^3 a_{n-3} = \cdots

and so on down to (D)

a_n = r^{n-1} a_1 = 10^{n-1} \cdot \dfrac15

(notice how the exponent on r and the subscript on a add up to n)
