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.

Why must one leg of a triangle that the Pythagorean triple represents need an even-numbered length?
pashok25 [27]

Most of the square numbers are even.so if we need to find root over we need an even number to convert it to perfect square.

See the example below

  • P=3
  • B=4
  • H=5

\\ \ast\bull\rm\longmapsto H^2=P^2+B^2

\\ \ast\bull\rm\longmapsto H^2=3^2+4^2

\\ \ast\bull\rm\longmapsto H^2=9+16

\\ \ast\bull\rm\longmapsto H^2=25

\\ \ast\bull\rm\longmapsto H=\sqrt{25}

\\ \ast\bull\rm\longmapsto H=5

Some other triplets are

  • (6,8,10)
  • (5,12,13)
  • (8,15,17)

1 Solve the compound inequality 4x&gt;-16 or 6x &lt;-48<br>​
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4x > -16 reduces to x > -4:  All numbers greater than x = -4 (shaded area to the right of -4).

6x < -48 reduces to x < -8:  All numbers to the left of -8 (shaded area to the left of -8).

Solution:  (-infinity, -4) ∪ (-8, infinity)

The number line between -8 and -4 is not part of the solution set (is not shaded or darkened)

Draw an open circle at -8 and extend an arrow to the left of this circle.  Then draw an open circle at -4 and extend an arrow to the right of this circle.
