Step2247 [10]

Answer:

15.24% probability that at least 2 will still stand after 35 years

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the binomial distribution and the exponential distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:

$f(x) = \mu e^{-\mu x}$

In which $\mu = \frac{1}{m}$ is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:

$P(X \leq x) = \int\limits^a_0 {f(x)} \, dx$

Which has the following solution:

$P(X \leq x) = 1 - e^{-\mu x}$

The probability of finding a value higher than x is:

$P(X > x) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-\mu x}$

Probability of a single tower being standing after 35 years:

Single tower, so exponential.

Mean of 25 years, so $m = 25, \mu = \frac{1}{25} = 0.04$

We have to find $P(X > 35)$

$P(X > 35) = 1 - P(X \leq x) = 1 - (1 - e^{-\mu x}) = e^{-0.04*35} = 0.2466$

What is the probability that at least 2 will still stand after 35 years?

Now binomial.

Each tower has a 0.2466 probability of being standing after 35 years, so $p = 0.2466$

3 towers, so $n = 3$

We have to find:

$P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 2) = C_{3,2}.(0.2466)^{2}.(0.7534)^{1} = 0.1374$

$P(X = 3) = C_{3,3}.(0.2466)^{3}.(0.7534)^{0} = 0.0150$

$P(X \geq 2) = P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.1374 + 0.0150 = 0.1524$

15.24% probability that at least 2 will still stand after 35 years

Leezas aquarium holds 55 gallons of water. She is filling the tank and has already put in 22 gallons. Write and solve an inequal

svp [43]

Leeza can put 33 or less gallons of water in aquarium.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Capacity of aquarium = 55 gallons of water

Water already in aquarium = 22 gallons

Let,

x be the number of gallons that can be added in aquarium.

As aquarium can hold 55 gallons of water, therefore, we cannot add more than 55 gallons of water.

$x+22\leq 55$

Subtracting 22 from both sides

$x+22-22\leq 55-22\\x\leq 33$

Leeza can put 33 or less gallons of water in aquarium.
