A TV set contains five circuit boards of type A, five of type B, and four of type C. The probability of failing in its first 500

0 hours of use is 0.03 for a type A circuit board, 0.04 for a type B circuit board, and 0.03 for a type C circuit board. Assuming that the failures of the various circuit boards are independent of one another, compute the probability that no circuit board fails in the first 5000 hours of use.

Answer:

0.903264

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a TV set contains five circuit boards of type A, five of type B, and four of type C. The probability of failing in its first 5000 hours of use is 0.03 for a type A circuit board, 0.04 for a type B circuit board, and 0.03 for a type C circuit board.

Let A' = the event that A fails, B' =  B fails and C'= C fails.

Probability that no circuit board fails = Prob (A'B'C')

= P(A')P(B')P(C')  (since A,B, C are independent, their complements are independent

= (1-0.03)(1-0.04)(1-0.03)

= 0.903264

For a binomial distribution with p = 0.20 and n = 100, what is the probability of obtaining a score less than or equal to x = 12
notsponge [240]
The binomial distribution is given by, 
P(X=x) =  (^{n}C_{x})p^{x} q^{n-x}
q = probability of failure = 1-0.2 = 0.8
n = 100
They have asked to find the probability <span>of obtaining a score less than or equal to 12.
</span>∴ P(X≤12) = (^{100}C_{x})(0.2)^{x} (0.8)^{100-x}
                    where, x = 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12                  
∴ P(X≤12) = (^{100}C_{0})(0.2)^{0} (0.8)^{100-0} + (^{100}C_{1})(0.2)^{1} (0.8)^{100-1} + (^{100}C_{2})(0.2)^{2} (0.8)^{100-2} + (^{100}C_{3})(0.2)^{3} (0.8)^{100-3} + (^{100}C_{4})(0.2)^{4} (0.8)^{100-4} + (^{100}C_{5})(0.2)^{5} (0.8)^{100-5} + (^{100}C_{6})(0.2)^{6} (0.8)^{100-6} + (^{100}C_{7})(0.2)^{7} (0.8)^{100-7} + (^{100}C_{8})(0.2)^{8} (0.8)^{100-8} + (^{100}C_{9})(0.2)^{9} (0.8)^{100-9} + (^{100}C_{10})(0.2)^{10} (0.8)^{100-10} + (^{100}C_{11})(0.2)^{11} (0.8)^{100-11} + (^{100}C_{12})(0.2)^{12} (0.8)^{100-12}


Evaluating each term and adding them you will get,
P(X≤12) = 0.02532833572
This is the required probability.

Answer:

The direct consequences of poverty are well-known — limited access to food, water, health care or education are a few examples. However, the consequences of poor living conditions on the community are seldom discussed; indeed, if members of a community suffer from poor living conditions, then the entire community suffers.
