The computer center at Rockbottom University has been experiencing computer downtime. Let us assume that the trials of an associ

ated Markov process are defined as one-hour periods and that the probability of the system being in a running state or a down state is based on the state of the system in the previous period. Historical data show the following transition probabilities: To From Running Down Running 0.70 0.30 Down 0.20 0.80 If the system is initially running, what is the probability of the system being down in the next hour of operation

Answer:

The probability of the system being down in the next hour of operation is 0.3.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a transition matrix from one period to the next (one hour) that can be written as:

T=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}&R&D\\R&0.7&0.3\\D&0.2&0.8\end{array}\right]

We can represent the state that system is initially running with the vector:

S_0=\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&0\end{array}\right]

The probabilties of the states in the next period can be calculated using the matrix product of the actual state and the transition matrix:

S_1=S_0\cdot T

That is:

S_1=S_0\cdot T= \left[\begin{array}{cc}1&0\end{array}\right]\cdot \left[\begin{array}{cc}0.7&0.3\\0.2&0.8\end{array}\right]= \left[\begin{array}{cc}0.7&0.3\end{array}\right]

With the inital state as running, we have a probabilty of 0.7 that the system will be running in the next hour and a probability of 0.3 that it will be down.

Berto can purchase 12/3.75 gallons, this is 3.2 gallons of gas. So the coordinate on this line would be (3.2, 12).
Good Luck! :D

A rocket is launched from a tower. The height of the rocket, y in feet, is related to the time after launch, x in seconds, by th
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

17 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

The trajectory of a rocket launched is modeled by a parabolic path via a quadratic equation as follows:

                               y = -16x^2 + 266x +102

Where,

                   y: The height of the rocket from ground

                   x: The time taken since rocket launch

We are to determine the time ( x ) it takes for the rocket to hit the ground. This can be determined by setting the quantity ( y ) to zero as follows

                             y = -16x^2 + 266x +102 = 0\\\\ -16x^2 + 266x +102 = 0

solve the quadratic equation using quadratic formula as follows:

                             x = \frac{-b +/- \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a} \\\\x = \frac{-266 +/- \sqrt{266^2 - 4*(-16)*(102)} }{2*(-16)} \\\\x = \frac{-266 +/- 278 }{-32} \\\\x = 8.3125 +/- 8.6875\\\\x = 17 , -0.375

Answer: Ignore the negative value for time " -0.375 ". Hence, the rocket hits the ground at time t = 17 seconds

Prove:
Levart [38]
Given the statement, "If n^2 is odd, then n is odd," its contrapositive claims that, "If n is not odd, then n^2 is not odd."

So assume n is not odd, i.e. n is even. This means there is an integer k for which n=2k. Squaring this gives n^2=(2k)^2=4k^2.

Well, we can write 4k^2=2(2k^2), and 2k^2 is just another integer, which means 4k^2=(2k)^2=n^2 must be even.
