By definition, skew lines are a pair of lines that are not parallel but do not intersect each other either. Hence, the conclusion would be, the lines are non-coplanar. An example would two random lines drawn in the x and y axes in a cartesian plane, respectively.

Sample Response:

Skew lines are noncoplanar and do not intersect. Line a lies in plane Q and line b lies in plane R, so the lines are not coplanar. No other plane can be drawn through the lines, so they are not parallel. So, a and b are skew.

A boiler has five identical relief valves. The probability that any particular valve will open on demand is 0.93. Assume indepen
noname [10]

Answer:

There is a 99.99998% probability that at least one valve opens.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each valve there are only two possible outcomes. Either it opens on demand, or it does not. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

n = 5, p = 0.93

Calculate P(at least one valve opens).

This is P(X \geq 1)

Either no valves open, or at least one does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So:

P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.93)^{0}.(0.07)^{5} = 0.0000016807

Finally

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0000016807 = 0.9999983193

There is a 99.99998% probability that at least one valve opens.
