10^-n=10^-6

So n=6

Thus they will want to install 6 switches...

Because every individual switch has a 1/10 chance of failing, two switches will have a (1/10)*(1/10) chance of failing.  Three switches will have a (1/10)*(1/10)*(1/10) chance of failing.  This pattern will continue.  Because ( \frac{1}{10} )^6 equals 1/1,000,000, 6 switches will give you a 1 in 1 million chance of all failing at the same time.

According to records in a large hospital, the birth weights of newborns have a symmetric and bell-shaped relative frequency dist
Kamila [148]

Answer:

15.9% of babies are born with birth weight under 6.3 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 6.8 pounds

Standard Deviation, σ = 0.5

We are given that the distribution of  birth weights is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

P(birth weight under 6.3 pounds)

P(x < 6.3)

P( x < 6.3) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{6.3 - 6.8}{0.5}) = P(z < -1)

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(x < -1) = 0.159 = 15.9\%

15.9% of babies are born with birth weight under 6.3 pounds.

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

30/1000

Step-by-step explanation:

red has a chance of 3/10

purple has a chance of 2/10

yellow has a chance of 5/10

for probability, multiply the denominators together, and the numerators together

3*2*5 = 30

10*10*10 = 1000

So the probability of picking red, then purple, and then yellow with replacement is 30 of 1000

Hope this helps!

Use the laplace transform to solve the given initial-value problem. y' + y = (t − 1), y(0) = 3
GaryK [48]

In mathematics, the Laplace transform, named after its discoverer Pierre Simon Laplace, transforms a function of real variables (usually in the time domain) into a function of complex variables (in the time domain). is the integral transform that Complex frequency domain, also called S-area or S-plane).
