HOW TO WORK OUT
cross multiply so $24 is 80% because it was 20% discounted so..
24 = 80%
?    = 100%

24 x 100 = 2400
2400 divided by 80 = 30

$30 was the original price

HOW TO CHECK 
20% of $30 
again you cross multiply so..
$30 = 100%
?      = 20%

30 x 20 = 600
600 divided by 100 = 6
$30 - $6 = $24 which was the discounted pricw

A starter motor used in a space vehicle has a high rate of reliability and was reputed to start on any given occasion with proba
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

0.095163

Step-by-step explanation:

given that a starter motor used in a space vehicle has a high rate of reliability and was reputed to start on any given occasion with probability .99999

Here we find that for any start, there are exactly two outcomes either success or failure.

Also each start is independent of the other since p = 0.99999 for succss is given constant.

Thus X no of successes is binomial with p = 0.99999 and n =10000

If Y is taken as failure then Y is binomial with p' = 0.00001 and n =10000

Required probability

= the probability of at least one failure in the next 10,000 starts

= 1-P(no failure in 10000 starts)

=1-(0.99999)^{10000} \\=0.095163
