An electronic system has three major circuit boards, A, B and C. These boards have respective software support in the ratio, (30

%) : (30 %) : (40 %). Further, percentages of software failure observed in A, B and C respectively are: (4 %), (5 %) and (3 %). Suppose a random failure is observed. What is the probability that this failure is from A, B or C?

Answer:

30.77% probability that this failure is from A.

38.46% probability that this failure is from B.

30.77% probability that this failure is from C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional probability:

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

P(A \cap B) is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

30% probability of board A being chosen.

Board A has a 4% probability of failure.

30% probability of board B being chosen.

Board B has a 5% probability of failure.

40% probability of board C being chosen.

Board B has a 3% probability of failure.

For all these questions:

Event A: Failure

So

P(A) = 0.3*0.04 + 0.3*0.05 + 0.4*0.03 = 0.039

Probability that this failure is from A:

Event B: Board A is chosen.

Intersection:

Failure from board A:

P(A \cap B) = 0.3*0.04 = 0.012

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.012}{0.039} = 0.3077

30.77% probability that this failure is from A.

Probability that this failure is from B:

Event B: Board B is chosen.

Intersection:

Failure from board B:

P(A \cap B) = 0.3*0.05 = 0.015

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.015}{0.039} = 0.3846

38.46% probability that this failure is from B.

Probability that this failure is from C:

Event B: Board C is chosen.

Intersection:

Failure from board C:

P(A \cap B) = 0.4*0.03 = 0.012

P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{0.012}{0.039} = 0.3077

30.77% probability that this failure is from C.

The measures of complementary angles have a sum of 90 degrees.Angle A and angle B are complimentary, and their measures have a d
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

The measure of the angles are 55° and 35°

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of two angles that are complement of each other are 90.

The angles are A and B, so we can write:

A + B = 90

Also,

The difference is 20. Let A be the greater of them, so we can write equation 2 as:

A - B = 20

Now, we add up both equations, eliminate B and solve for A first:

A + B = 90

A - B = 20

---------------

2A = 90 + 20

2A = 110

A = 110/2

A = 55

And now the measure of B:

A + B = 90

55 + B = 90

B = 90 - 55

B = 35
