For safety reasons, four different alarm systems were installed in the vault containing the safety deposit boxes at a beverly hi

lls bank. each of the four systems detects theft with a probability of .99 independently of the others. the bank, obviously, is interested in the probability that when a theft occurs, at least oneof the four systems will detect it. this probability is equal to:

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%)

Given: Base ∠BAC and ∠ACB are congruent.
Sergio039 [100]

Refer to the image attached.

Given: \angle BAC and \angle ACB are congruent.

To Prove: \DeltaABC is an isosceles triangle.

Construction: Construct a perpendicular bisector from point B to Line segment AC.

Consider triangle ABD and BDC,

\angle BAD = \angle BCD (given)

\angle ADB = \angle BDC = 90^\circ

(By the definition of a perpendicular bisector)

AD=DC (By the definition of a perpendicular bisector)

Therefore, \Delta ABD \cong \Delta BDC by Angle Side Angle(ASA) Postulate.

Line segment AB is congruent to Line segment BC because corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.(CPCTC)

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line through the given point with the
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

y = -2x  - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form of equation is y = mx + c

c is intercept and m is slope

given that slope is -2

m = -2

thus, equation in slope intercept will be

y = -2x + c

The given line passes through (-1,0)

y = -2x + c

lets substitute y = 0 and x = -1 in the given equation

0 = -2*-1 + c

0 = 2 + c

c = -2

Thus, the complete slope intercept equation after using the value of c as -2

we have

y = -2x  - 2   answer
