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%)

Answer:

4xy+24y^2−7x−38y−7

Step-by-step explanation:

(-7+4y) (6y+x+1)

-7*6y= -42y

-7*x= -7x

-7*1= -7

4y*6y= 24y²

4y*x= 4yx

4x*1= 4y

-3(4u-v)-5(-v+3u)<br> For 20 points
natita [175]

Answer:

−27u + 8v

Explanation:

−3(4u − v) − 5( − v + 3u)

[ Distribute ]

= (−3)(4u) + (−3)(−v) + (−5)(−v) + (−5)(3u)

= −12u + 3v + 5v + −15u

[ Combine Like Terms ]

= −12u + 3v + 5v + −15u

= (−12u + −15u) + (3v + 5v)

= −27u + 8v
