Memory module consists of 9 chips. The device is designed with redundancy so that it works even if one of its chips is defective

. Each chip contains ???? transistors and function properly if all its transistors work. A transistor works with probability p independent of each other transistor.(a) What is the probability P[C] that a chip works? (b) What is the probability P[M] that the memory module works? (c) If p = 0.999, what is the maximum number of transistors per chip n that produces P[M] ≥ 0.9 (a 90% success probability for the memory module)? (d) If the memory module can tolerate two defective chips, what is the maximum number of transistors per chip n that produces P[M] ≥ 0.9?

Answer:

a) P[C]=p^n

b) P[M]=p^{8n}(9-8p^n)

c) n=62

d) n=138

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: "Each chip contains n transistors"

a) A chip needs all n transistor working to function correctly. If p is the probability that a transistor is working ok, then:

P[C]=p^n

b) The memory module works with when even one of the chips is defective. It means it works either if 8 chips or 9 chips are ok. The probability of the chips failing is independent of each other.

We can calculate this as a binomial distribution problem, with n=9 and k≥8:

P[M]=P[C_9]+P[C_8]\\\\P[M]=\binom{9}{9}P[C]^9(1-P[C])^0+\binom{9}{8}P[C]^8(1-P[C])^1\\\\P[M]=P[C]^9+9P[C]^8(1-P[C])\\\\P[M]=p^{9n}+9p^{8n}(1-p^n)\\\\P[M]=p^{8n}(p^{n}+9(1-p^n))\\\\P[M]=p^{8n}(9-8p^n)

c)

P[M]=(0.999)^{8n}(9-8(0.999)^n)=0.9

This equation was solved graphically and the result is that the maximum number of chips to have a reliability of the memory module equal or bigger than 0.9 is 62 transistors per chip. See picture attached.

d) If the memoty module tolerates 2 defective chips:

P[M]=P[C_9]+P[C_8]+P[C_7]\\\\P[M]=\binom{9}{9}P[C]^9(1-P[C])^0+\binom{9}{8}P[C]^8(1-P[C])^1+\binom{9}{7}P[C]^7(1-P[C])^2\\\\P[M]=P[C]^9+9P[C]^8(1-P[C])+36P[C]^7(1-P[C])^2\\\\P[M]=p^{9n}+9p^{8n}(1-p^n)+36p^{7n}(1-p^n)^2

We again calculate numerically and graphically and determine that the maximum number of transistor per chip in this conditions is n=138. See graph attached.

ki77a [65]

Answer:

13 11/12.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we multiply 1/4 and 2/3 with it's least common denominator, 12. Now, we have 6 3/12 and 7 8/12. We now add this together to get the sum of 13 11/12.

HELP ASAP
galben [10]

I don’t have a very detailed explanation, however the answer should be “A 90-degree counterclockwise rotation about the origin followed by a translation 1 unit to the left”.

You can clearly see a 90° angle here, it’s obvious. Also, the polygon switch counterclockwise. so, you can see.

hope I helped ^^
