A system has 4 components. We want to find the probability that in some implementation of this system components #1 and #2 fail,

and at least one of components #3 and #4 fails as well. (a) Compute this probability under the following two assumptions • component #x fails 25% of the times and component #y fails 30% of the times, where x = 1, 2 and y = 3, 4, • the components fail independently of one another.

Answer:

The probability that components #1 and #2 fail,  and at least one of components #3 and #4 fails is 0.031875

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's define the following events,

F1: Component #1 fails

F2: Component #2 fails

F3: Component #3 fails

F4: Component #4 fails

We are looking for the following probability

P[(F1∩F2)∩(F3∪F4)]

using distributive laws we have

P[(F1∩F2)∩(F3∪F4)] = P[(F1∩F2∩F3)∪(F1∩F2∩F4)] = P(F1∩F2∩F3) + P(F1∩F2∩F4) - P(F1∩F2∩F3∩F4) = P(F1)P(F2)P(F3) + P(F1)P(F2)P(F4) - P(F1)P(F2)P(F3)P(F4) = (0.25)(0.25)(0.3) + (0.25)(0.25)(0.3) - (0.25)(0.25)(0.3)(0.3)=0.031875

by the assumption of independence (the components fail independently) and because P(F1) = P(F2) = 0.25, P(F3) = P(F4) = 0.3

The sequence can be represented by 2 + 4x, where x is a whole number(x \geq 0 and x is an integer). By this, we should be able to plug in some whole number x and be able to get these values if they are in the sequence. To test this, let's set these numbers equal to 2 + 4x and confirm that there is a whole number x which equals the values selected.


2 + 4x = 90 \Rightarrow 4x = 88 \Rightarrow x = 22 \, \checkmark

2 + 4x = 150 \Rightarrow 4x = 148 \Rightarrow x = 37 \, \checkmark

2 + 4x = 160 \Rightarrow 4x = 158 \Rightarrow x = 39.5


When trying 160 with our equation, we find that x doesn't equal a whole number, thus our answer is C, or 160. To confirm our answer, we can test 170 and 210 and confirm that they both give us a value for x which is a whole number.


2 + 4x = 170 \Rightarrow 4x = 168 \Rightarrow x = 42 \, \checkmark

2 + 4x = 210 \Rightarrow 4x = 208 \Rightarrow x = 52 \, \checkmark

Assuming that workers' salaries in your company are uniformly distributed between $15,000 and $40,000 per year, find the probabi
lord [1]

Answer:

The  probability is  P(\$20,000 <  X < \$35,000) =  0.6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

     Workers' salaries in your company are uniformly distributed between $15,000 and $40,000 per year

  Generally the probability that a randomly chosen worker earns an annual salary between $20,000 and $35,000 is mathematically represented as

        P(\$20,000 <  X  \$35,000) =  \frac{ 35000 -  20000}{ 40000 - 150000}

  => P(\$20,000 <  X < \$35,000) =  0.6

Find the distance between X (5, 7) and Y (-6, 6).<br> Round answer to the nearest tenth.
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:  11.0  or 11

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the distance first find the difference between the coordinates. find the change in the x and y coordinates and square them to add them to get a number and find the square root of that same number to find the distance.

x coordinates:   5-(-6)= 11

y coordinate:  7-6 =  -1  

Now square them

11^2 + 1^2 = l^2    where l is the distance

121 + 1 = l^2

 122 =l^2

 l =  \sqrt{122}

  l  =  11.045   Rounded to the nearest tenth is 11.0
