Answer:

There is a 99.99998% probability that at least one valve opens.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each valve there are only two possible outcomes. Either it opens on demand, or it does not. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

n = 5, p = 0.93

Calculate P(at least one valve opens).

This is P(X \geq 1)

Either no valves open, or at least one does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So:

P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

So

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{5,0}.(0.93)^{0}.(0.07)^{5} = 0.0000016807

Finally

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0000016807 = 0.9999983193

There is a 99.99998% probability that at least one valve opens.

2x 5 The area of the rectangle shown is given by the function A()- 2 -5x lfthe width of the rectangle is 13, then the area is 42
PIT_PIT [208]
If you let x = 13:
     Then, Area = 2(13)^2 - 5(13)
                        = 338 - 65
                        = 273 sq ft

If you let 2x-5 = 13:
                  2x = 18
                    x = 6
 
     Then, Area = 2(6)^2 - 5(6)
                        = 72 - 30
                        = 42 sq ft

Therefore, your options are A or C. Your answer can be chosen based on what you assume the width to be. Good luck!
