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.

Determine whether the sequence is arithmetic if so what’s the common difference -9 -33-57-81
QveST [7]

Answer:

Arithmetic.

Common Difference: -24

Step-by-step explanation:

An arithmetic sequence is a sequence with the difference between two consecutive terms constant. The difference is called the common difference. A geometric sequence is a sequence with the ratio between two consecutive terms constant.

For arithmetic, to find the common difference we take any pair of successive numbers, and we subtract the first from the second.

For geometric, to find the common ratio can be found by dividing any term in the sequence by the previous term.

twice the number of donuts was only 6 less than 24 times the number of cream puffs. 10 times the number of cream puffs was only
Karolina [17]

donuts and cream puffs were  45 & 4 respectively !

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , twice the number of donuts was only 6 less than 24 times the number of cream puffs. 10 times the number of cream puffs was only 5 less than the number of donuts   We need to find how many donuts and cream puffs were there . Let's find out:

Let number of donuts and cream puffs are x & y respectively ! So ,

  • twice the number of donuts was only 6 less than 24 times the number of cream puffs

According to this statement equation is :

⇒ 2x=24y-6

⇒ x=12y-3            ................(1)

  • 10 times the number of cream puffs was only 5 less than the number of donuts

According to this statement equation is :

⇒ 10y= x-5

⇒ x=10y+5               ................(2)

Equation (1) & (2) :

⇒ 12y-3=10y+5

⇒ 2y=8

⇒ y=4

Putting  y=4 in  x=12y-3  :

⇒ x = 12(4)-3

⇒ x = 45

Therefore , donuts and cream puffs were  45 & 4 respectively !
