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 %

GIven that GR= x+5 and GP= 2x-3 which expression below calculates the perimeter of this gate? (x+5) + (2x-3) (x+5) + (2x-3) 2(x+
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

P = 2(x + 5) + 2(2x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven that GR= x+5 and GP= 2x-3 which expression below calculates the perimeter of this gate?

The shape of the gate is rectangular.

Hence, the Perimeter of a rectangle (the gate) = 2L + 2W

Where :

L = GR = x + 5

W = GP = 2x - 3

Hence,the perimeter of the gate is

P = 2(x + 5) + 2(2x - 3)

6 points are placed on the line a , 4 points are placed on the line b . How many triangles is it possible to form such that thei
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

96

Step-by-step explanation:

Using side b as the base, 4 points makes 3 bases (the space in between).  With three bases, you can have 3 bases of 1 segment, 2 bases of 2 segments, and 1 base of 3 segments.  This equals 6 bases. Each of these can connect to a point on line a. 6x6=36

Using side a as the base, 6 points makes 5 bases.  With 5 bases, you can have 5 bases of 1 segment, 4 bases of 2 segments, 3 bases of 3 segments, 2 bases of 4 segments, and 1 base of 5 segments.  This equals 15 bases.  Each of these can connect to a point on line b.  15x4=60

36+60=96

Vilka [71]

Answer:

a) 9% , not unusual

b) 42.4%

c) 48.4%

d) 11.1% , 44.4% , 44.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following information from the statement:

n = 12

r = 4

a)  

P (likebothofthem) = P (likefirstsong) * P (likesecondsong)

P = 4/12 * 3/11

P = 0.09 = 9%

The probability is not unusual, unusual is considered less than 0.05 or 5%

b)

P (likeneither) = P (notlikefirstsong) * P (notlikesecondsong)

P = 8/12 * 7/11

P = 0.424 = 42.4%

c) P (likeexactlyoneofthem) = P (firstsongliked) * P (secondsongnotliked) + P (firstsongnotliked) * P (secondsongliked)

P = (4/12 * 8/11) + (8/12 * 4/11)

P = 0.484 = 48.4%

d)

a)

P (likebothofthem) = P (likefirstsong) * P (likesecondsong)

P = 4/12 * 4/12

P = 0.111 = 11.1%

The probability is not unusual, unusual is considered less than 0.05 or 5%

b)

P (likeneither) = P (notlikefirstsong) * P (notlikesecondsong)

P = 8/12 * 8/12

P = 0.444 = 44.4%

c) P (likeexactlyoneofthem) = P (firstsongliked) * P (secondsongnotliked) + P (firstsongnotliked) * P (secondsongliked)

P = (4/12 * 8/12) + (8/12 * 4/12)

P = 0.444 = 44.4%
