A k out of n system is one in which there is a group of ncomponents, and the system will function if at least kof the components

function. Assume the components function independently of one another. In a 3 out of 5 system, each component has a probability of 0.9 of functioning. What is the probability that system will function?

Answer:

0.99145 is the probability that the system will work properly.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

The components function independently of one another.

We treat component working properly as a success.

P(component working properly) = 0.9

Then the number of components follows a binomial distribution, where

P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 5 and x = 3

For the system to function if atleast 3 out of 5 will work properly.

We have to evaluate:

P(x \geq 3) = 1 - P(x = 1) - P(x = 2) \\=1- \binom{5}{1}(0.9)^1(1-0.9)^4 - \binom{5}{2}(0.9)^2(1-0.9)^3\\=1-0.00045-0.0081\\= 0.99145

0.99145 is the probability that the system will work properly.

There is a 1 in 15 chance it could occur. The more numbers you add, the rarer the chance. This does not guarantee that it will occur in 15 tests.

Emma has addressed seven invitations to her
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved by working backwards.

7 is one more than half the number of invitations.

Subtract 1.  6 is half the number of invitations.

Double.

12 is the full number of invitations.

Algebra (if you must!):

x = number of invitations

x/2 + 1 = 7

Subtract 1.

x/2 = 6

Multiply by 2.

x = 12
