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

Which is the formula for slope of a line.
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

If the line passes through the points A(x_1,y_1) and B(x_2,y_2), then the slope of the line can be determined as

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}.

Then the equation of the line is

y=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)+y_1.

Answer: correct choice is B

Find the slope of the line (-3,-2) (1,6)
nlexa [21]

Answer:

slope = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 6)

m = \frac{6-(-2)}{1-(-3)} = \frac{6+2}{1+3} = \frac{8}{4} = 2
