The probability any one system works is 0.99
So the probability of any one system failing is 1-0.99 = 0.01, so basically a 1% chance of failure for any one system

Multiply out the value 0.01 with itself four times
0.01*0.01*0.01*0.01 = 0.000 000 01
I'm using spaces to make the number more readable
So the probability of all four systems failing is 0.00000001
Subtract this value from 1 to get
1 - 0.00000001 = 0.99999999

The answer is 0.99999999 which is what we'd expect. The probability of at least one of the systems working is very very close to 1 (aka 100%)

Lena [83]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

X+Y = 13

 

$18 + $22 = $258

OR

18X+22Y=258

 

18X + 22(13 - X) = 258

 

18X + 286 - 22X  = 258

 

286 - 4X  = 258

 

-4X= 258 - 286

 

-4X = -28

 

X= 7

Y=6

 7 of the X tour  packages & 6 of the Y tour  packages
