A machine needs 2 of its gears replaced. You find 2 gears, one manufactured 5 years ago and the other manufactured 10 years ago.

The specifications sheet says that the chance of failure is 5% after 5 years and increases to 8% after 10 years. If the gears on the machine are in no way linked to each other, what are the chances that both will fail?

These are independent events so
P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B)

Therefore
P(Both gears fail) = 0.05 * 0.08 = 0.004 or 0.4%

Answer: Hello your question is poorly written attached below is the complete question

answer:

0.1515

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of bets = 200

mean number of losses  = $0.2

Standard deviation = $2.74

<u>Determine P ( winning after 200 bets ) </u>

Average of 200 bets > 0.  i.e. P( X > 0 )

considering normal distribution : μ = -0.2 , б = 2.74 , n = 200

applying Z - distribution

z = 0 - ( - 0.2 ) / ( 2.74 / √200 ) ≈ 1.03

∴ P ( z > 1.03 ) = 1 - P ( z < 1.03 )

                       = 1 - 0.8485  ( value gotten from z-table )

                       = 0.1515
