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

Madeline needs to find the slope of the line that passes through the points (9, 12) and (7, 4). She sets up the following work:
Over [174]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

She has everything correct but one thing. In order to have her answer correct, she must put the 9 in front of the 7 because the bigger number needs to go in front.

Solve this equation.<br><br> 3x = 36
pishuonlain [190]
To solve this, simply divide by 3 on both sides.

36/3 = 12

<span>x = 12

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (-8, -1)(−8,−1) and (-6, -2) ?(−6,−2)? Write your answer in simples
ziro4ka [17]

The slope of line passing through the given points is: -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are:

(x1,y1) = (-8,-1)

(x2,y2) = (-6,-2)

Slope is defined as the steepness of a line.

It is denoted by m.

The formula for slope is:

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Putting the values

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

The slope of line passing through the given points is: -1/2

Keywords: Slope, steepness
