9. A large electronic office product contains 2000 electronic components. Assume that the probability that each component operat

es without failure during the useful life of the product is 0.995, and assume that the components fail independently. Approximate the probability that five or more of the original 2000 components fail during the useful life of the product.

Answer:

97.10% probability that five or more of the original 2000 components fail during the useful life of the product.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each component, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it works correctly, or it does not. The probability of a component falling is independent from other components. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

n = 2000, p = 1-0.995 = 0.005

Approximate the probability that five or more of the original 2000 components fail during the useful life of the product.

We know that either less than five compoenents fail, or at least five do. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

P(X < 5) + P(X \geq 5) = 1

We want P(X \geq 5)

So

P(X \geq 5) = 1 - P(X < 5)

In which

P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4)

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{2000,0}.(0.005)^{0}.(0.995)^{2000} = 0.000044

P(X = 1) = C_{2000,1}.(0.005)^{1}.(0.995)^{1999} = 0.000445

P(X = 2) = C_{2000,2}.(0.005)^{2}.(0.995)^{1998} = 0.002235

P(X = 3) = C_{2000,3}.(0.005)^{3}.(0.995)^{1997} = 0.007480

P(X = 4) = C_{2000,4}.(0.005)^{4}.(0.995)^{1996} = 0.018765

P(X < 5) = P(X = 0) + `P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) + P(X = 4) = 0.000044 + 0.000445 + 0.002235 + 0.007480 + 0.018765 = 0.0290

P(X \geq 5) = 1 - P(X < 5) = 1 - 0.0290 = 0.9710

97.10% probability that five or more of the original 2000 components fail during the useful life of the product.

What amount of money do you have if you have 5 pennies, 13 nickels, 14 dimes, 2 quarters, and one 5 dollar bill?
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

$7.60

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Penny = $0.01
  • Nickel = $0.05
  • Dime = $0.10
  • Quarter = $0.25

( 5 × 0.01 ) + ( 13 × 0.05 ) + ( 14 × 0.10 ) + ( 2 × 0.25 ) + 5

                -<em>The 5 at the end represents the </em><u><em>one</em></u><em> five dollar bill.</em>

Simplified: (solve what is in the parenthesis)

0.05 + 0.65 + 1.4 + 0.50 + 5 = $7.60

Leona answered all the questions on a test. She had 90% of them correct. There were 40 questions in all. How many did she have c
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The answer is 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be <em>x</em>

x/40 is her mark

she got 90% mark correct

x/40 x 100 = 90

by cancellation we get 9 x 4 = 36

Find the value of a and b when x = 12
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

a=120

b=240

Step-by-step explanation:

if x=12

a=5×2×2×2(x-5)

5×2=10×2×2=40

40(x-5) 40x-200

200=40×\40x=5

b=2×10×12=240

a=120

b=240
