Answer: he should deposit $5000

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Where

I represents interest paid on the amount deposited.

P represents the principal or amount deposited.

R represents interest rate

T represents the duration of the deposit in years.

From the information given,

I = $240

R = 1.6%

T = 3 years

Therefore,

240 = (P × 1.6 × 3)/100

Multiplying both sides by 100, it becomes

240 × 100 = 4.8P

24000 = 4.8P

P = 24000/4.8

P = $5000

Answer:

$5,000.00

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, let's employ the formula for simple interest and then solve for the Principal (That is, the amount invested )

Simple Interest (I) = P*R*T / 100

Where P = Principal (Amount invested)

I = Interest = $240

R = Rate = 1.6%

T = Time = 3 years

Therefore:

P = ( 100 * I ) / T * R

P = (100 * $ 240) / 3 * 1.6

P = $24000 / 4.8

P = $5,000

It means that, he would deposit $5,000

a snail going full speed was taking 1/8 of a minute to move 1/7 of a centimeter. at this rate, how long would it take the snail
Lana71 [14]
It will take 7/8 of a minute because you just multiply 1/8 by 7

Memory module consists of 9 chips. The device is designed with redundancy so that it works even if one of its chips is defective
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

a) P[C]=p^n

b) P[M]=p^{8n}(9-8p^n)

c) n=62

d) n=138

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: "Each chip contains n transistors"

a) A chip needs all n transistor working to function correctly. If p is the probability that a transistor is working ok, then:

P[C]=p^n

b) The memory module works with when even one of the chips is defective. It means it works either if 8 chips or 9 chips are ok. The probability of the chips failing is independent of each other.

We can calculate this as a binomial distribution problem, with n=9 and k≥8:

P[M]=P[C_9]+P[C_8]\\\\P[M]=\binom{9}{9}P[C]^9(1-P[C])^0+\binom{9}{8}P[C]^8(1-P[C])^1\\\\P[M]=P[C]^9+9P[C]^8(1-P[C])\\\\P[M]=p^{9n}+9p^{8n}(1-p^n)\\\\P[M]=p^{8n}(p^{n}+9(1-p^n))\\\\P[M]=p^{8n}(9-8p^n)

c)

P[M]=(0.999)^{8n}(9-8(0.999)^n)=0.9

This equation was solved graphically and the result is that the maximum number of chips to have a reliability of the memory module equal or bigger than 0.9 is 62 transistors per chip. See picture attached.

d) If the memoty module tolerates 2 defective chips:

P[M]=P[C_9]+P[C_8]+P[C_7]\\\\P[M]=\binom{9}{9}P[C]^9(1-P[C])^0+\binom{9}{8}P[C]^8(1-P[C])^1+\binom{9}{7}P[C]^7(1-P[C])^2\\\\P[M]=P[C]^9+9P[C]^8(1-P[C])+36P[C]^7(1-P[C])^2\\\\P[M]=p^{9n}+9p^{8n}(1-p^n)+36p^{7n}(1-p^n)^2

We again calculate numerically and graphically and determine that the maximum number of transistor per chip in this conditions is n=138. See graph attached.
