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.

1. Find the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a convex 11-gon.
OleMash [197]

Answer:

The measure of the sum of interior angles of a 11-gon is 1620^{o}.

Each interior angle is approximately 147.273^{o}.

Step-by-step explanation:

A convex polygon has the measure of each interior angles to be less than 180^{o}.

But,

sum of interior angles of polygon = (n - 2) x 180^{o}

where n is the number of sides of the polygon.

For a convex 11-gon, we have;

sum of angles of a 11-gon = (11 - 2) x 180^{o}

                                         = 9 x 180^{o}

                                         = 1620^{o}

Sum of angles of a 11-gon = 1620^{o}

To check: convex polygons' interior angles are less than 180^{o}.

so that,

each interior angle of 11-gon = \frac{1620}{11}

                                        = 147.273^{o}
