A power system will collapse if a ground fault occurs on any two of lines A, B, and C simultaneously. Assume that ground faults
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

0.000298 = 0.0298% probability that the system will collapse

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of possible ways the system can fail:

2 lines from a set of 3 fail, or all three fail.

Two from a set of 3:

Can be A and B, A and C, or B and C. Three possible outcomes then.

The probability of each is:

0.01*0.01*0.99

Two failling, each with 0.01 probability, and 1 working, with 0.99 probability.

All three:

Each with 0.01 probability.

a) What is the probability that the system will collapse

Both cases, so

p = 3*(0.01)^2*0.99 + (0.01)^3 = 0.000298

0.000298 = 0.0298% probability that the system will collapse

A population of rabbits is described by the function R(t) = 100(2t/5), where t is measured in months and R is measured in rabbit
Savatey [412]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation: The graph is shown in the attachment.

a. ΔR on [1,2] is mathematically expressed as:

ΔR = R(2) - R(1)

which means difference of population of rabbits after 2 months and after 1 month.

R(1) = 100(\frac{2}{5}.1 )

R(1) = 100(\frac{2}{5} )

R(2) = 100(\frac{2}{5}.2 )

R(2) = 100(\frac{4}{5} )

\Delta R = 100(\frac{4}{5} )-100(\frac{2}{5} )

\Delta R = 100[\frac{4}{5} - \frac{2}{5} ]

\Delta R= 40

Difference of rabbits between first and second months is 40.

b. R(0) = 100(\frac{2}{5} .0)

R(0) = 0

Initially, there no rabbits in the population.

c. R(10) = 100(\frac{2}{5}.10 )

R(10) = 400

In 10 months, there will be 400 rabbits.

d. R(t) = 500

500=100(\frac{2}{5}.t )

\frac{500}{100}=\frac{2}{5}.t

t = \frac{500.5}{100.2}

t = 12.5

In 12 and half months, population of rabbits will be 500.

and right side number=x+1

(x-1)+x+(x+1)=30

3x=30

x=10

x-1=9

x+1=11

numbers are 9,10,11

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

  a. the investment earns 4%

  b. yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The "rule of 72" says that an investment earning compound interest at x% will double in value after 72/x years. That is, ...

  f(x) = 72/x

__

<h3>a.</h3>

We interpret f(4) to mean Becky's friend is interested in the doubling time for an investment that earns 4% interest.

__

<h3>b.</h3>

Using the above formula, ...

  f(4) = 72/4 = 18

The friend's math is correct.
