A machine needs 2 of its gears replaced. You find 2 gears, one manufactured 5 years ago and the other manufactured 10 years ago.

The specifications sheet says that the chance of failure is 5% after 5 years and increases to 8% after 10 years. If the gears on the machine are in no way linked to each other, what are the chances that both will fail? Answer in % form.
If someone could show me the steps I would really appreciate it! Thanks!!!

Probability that gear 1 will fail = 5/100 (upto 10 years) 
and 8/100 (after 10 years)

Probability that both will fail = 5/100 * 8/100
= 40/10000
= 0.4 %

Why can’t one of the names be PNM, or MPN for the plane? But MNP can? What’s the difference, and why?
Savatey [412]

The names PNM and MPN are perfectly valid. The order of the letters doesn't matter. In fact, there are 6 ways to name this plane if we just use the 3 letters. If we include "plane Z", then there are 7 total ways to name the plane.

For some reason, your teacher wants P to be the third letter as s/he mentioned MNP and NMP. But again, the order doesn't matter.
