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.

In triangle ABC, AC =24, the measure of angle A = 30 degree , and the measure of angle B = 45 degree . Find the area of this tri
andriy [413]

Answer:

142.932

Step-by-step explanation:

given that in triangle ABC, AC =24

Angle A = 30 and Angle B =45

If we draw altitude from C, we get

h = 24sin 30 = 12

Since BC = h (45, 45,90 triangle)

BC=12

By sine formula for triangle

\frac{12}{sin30} =\frac{AB}{sin(180-45-30)} \\AB = 24 sin 105 = 23.1822

Area of triangle

= 1/2 (23.1822)(12)\\= 142.932

ABCD is a rectangle. What is the value of x?
ankoles [38]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the pythagorean theorem

a² + b² = c²

a² + 63² = 65²

a² + 3969 = 4225

a² = 256

a = 16

x = 16 meters

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation contains a sign equality (=) between two expressions.

And an expression is a simple algebraic statement.

By these definitions,

         x = 2x + 5                            21x - 13 + 11x

         \frac{1}{2}x=5+3                           -3.7x - 13  

         3x + 1 = -2.1                          \frac{1}{2}x+5
