Military radar and missile detection systems are designed to warn a country of enemy attacks. A reliability question deals with

the ability of the detection system to identify an attack and issue the warning. Assume that a particular detection system has a 0.83 probability of detecting a missile attack. Answer the following questions using the binomial probability distribution:
a. What is the probability that a single detection system will detect an attack?
b. If two detection systems are installed in the same area and operate independently, what
is the probability that at least one of the systems will detect the attack?
c. If three systems are installed, what is the probability that at least one of the systems
will detect the attack?
d. Would you recommend that multiple detection systems be used? Explain.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a particular detection system has a 0.83 probability of detecting a missile attack.

Also each system is independent of the other to detect missile attack.

a)  the probability that a single detection system will detect an attack=0.83

b) the probability that at least one of the systems will detect the attack given two systems= 1-Prob no system detects

=1-(1-0.83)(1-0.83)\\\\=1-0.0289\\=0.9711

c)  If three systems are installed,  the probability that at least one of the systems  will detect the attack

= 1- none of the three systems detect attack

= (1-0.17^3)\\=1-0.004913\\=0.995087

d) We find that probability of detecting is more if we increase the system form 1 to 2 and 2 to 3.

Hence for safety and defence purpose multiple detection system is recommended.

13/10+2/100=?/100 do you guys know what it os
Mila [183]

Answer:

132

Step-by-step explanation:

13/10+2/100=?/100

Get a common denominator of 100 for the first term

13/10  * (10/10)  +2/100=?/100

130/100 + 2/100 = ?/100

132/100   = ? /100

Find the value of x for which 2x ^(1/ 2) = 32.
Mrac [35]

Answer:

The value of x will be 8    

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that 2\sqrt{x}=32

We have to find the value of x

As 2\sqrt{x}=32

For finding the value of x we have to square both side

On squaring both side

We done squaring both side for easy simplification

4x=32

So x = 8

So the value of x will be 8

So answer will be 8

Option A:

(x-5)^{2}+(y-3)^{2}=16

Solution:

Given data:

Center of the circle is (5, 3).

Radius of the circle = 4

To find the equation of the circle:

The general form of the equation of a circle in centre-radius format is

(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}

where (h, k) is the centre of the circle and r is the radius of the circle.

Substitute the given values in the equation of a circle formula:

(x-5)^{2}+(y-3)^{2}=4^{2}

(x-5)^{2}+(y-3)^{2}=16

The equation of the given circle is (x-5)^{2}+(y-3)^{2}=16.

Hence Option A is the correct answer.

Given: ABCD is a ∥-gram, BF ⊥ CD , BE ⊥ AD, Prove: △ABE∼△CBF
drek231 [11]

Answer:

Hence proved △ABE∼△CBF.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

ABCD is a parallelogram.

BF ⊥ CD    and

BE ⊥ AD

To Prove : △ABE∼△CBF

We have drawn the diagram for your reference.

Proof:

Since ABCD is a parallelogram,

So according to the property of parallelogram opposite angles are equal in measure.

\therefore m\angle A = m\angle B ⇒1

And given that BF ⊥ CD and BE ⊥ AD.

So we can say that;

m\angle F=m\angle E=90\° ⇒2

Now In △ABE and △CBF

∠A = ∠C   (from 1)

∠E = ∠F    (from 2)

So by A.A. similarity postulate;

△ABE∼△CBF
