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.

Lee wants to collect 22 of a certain type of action figure. He had 11 of the figures, then got 3 more for his birthday. What dec
Shalnov [3]

To solve this problem, we must first find the fraction of action figures that Lee has gotten so far.  To do this, we will represent the number of action figures that Lee currently has in the numerator divided by the denominator, the total number of action figures that Lee is attempting to collect.

First, we must recognize that Lee currently has 11 action figures plus the 3 that he got for his birthday.  To find the total number of action figures that Lee has, we must add together these two parts.  

11+3 = 14

Therefore, Lee has 14 action figures (this will become the numerator of the fraction).  The denominator of the fraction is the total number of action figures, which we are given is 22.

Thus, our fraction is 14/22.

To convert this into a decimal, we can simply divide the numerator of the fraction by the denominator of the fraction, which gives us:

14/22 = 0.636363636

Therefore, your answer is approximately 0.636.

Hope this helps!

Which set of ordered pairs is not a functions?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

X values cannot repeat in a function, 3 is used as an X value twice in A, and therefore cannot be a function.

If this is graphed, you can use the vertical line test, if a vertical line on any point goes through other points, it is not a function.

In this case, just check if X repeats.
