Answer:

12 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Two buildings have the same total number of heights

The first building has 6 floors each with height h

The second building has a ground floor of 36 feet and 3 other floors each

Since both buildings have the same height then

Height of first building= height of second building

The first step is to calculate the height of the first building

Height of first building = 6h

The height of the second building is

36 + 3h

Therefore the height of each floors can be calculated as follows

6h= 36 + 3h

Collect the like terms

6h-3h = 36

3h= 36

h= 36/3

h= 12

Hence the height of each floors is 12 feet

Answer:

(a) The probability that at least one of these components will need repair within 1 year is 0.0278.

(b) The probability that exactly one of these component will need repair within 1 year is 0.0277.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

A = video components need repair within 1 year

B = electronic components need repair within 1 year

C = audio components need repair within 1 year

The information provided is:

P (A) = 0.02

P (B) = 0.007

P (C) = 0.001

The events A, B and C are independent.

(a)

Compute the probability that at least one of these components will need repair within 1 year as follows:

P (At least 1 component needs repair)

= 1 - P (No component needs repair)

$=1-P(A^{c}\cap B^{c}\cap C^{c})\\=1-[P(A^{c})\times P(B^{c})\times P(C^{c})]\\=1-[(1-0.02)\times (1-0.007)\times (1-0.001)]\\=1-0.97216686\\=0.02783314\\\approx 0.0278$

Thus, the probability that at least one of these components will need repair within 1 year is 0.0278.

(b)

Compute the probability that exactly one of these component will need repair within 1 year as follows:

P (Exactly 1 component needs repair)

= P (A or B or C)

$=P(A\cap B^{c}\cap C^{c})+P(A^{c}\cap B\cap C^{c})+P(A^{c}\cap B^{c}\cap C)\\=[0.02\times (1-0.007)\times (1-0.001)]+[(1-0.02)\times 0.007\times (1-0.001)]\\+[(1-0.02)\times (1-0.007)\times 0.001]\\=0.02766642\\\approx 0.0277$
