Answer:

P(X = 0) = 0.42

P(X = 1) = 0.46

P(X = 2) = 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

40% probability that the first file is corrupted. So 60% probability that the first file is not corrupted.

30% probability that the second file is corrupted. So 70% probability that the second file is not corrupted.

Probability mass function

Probability of each outcome(0, 1 and 2 files corrupted).

No files corrupted:

60% probability that the first file is not corrupted.

70% probability that the second file is not corrupted.

So

P(X = 0) = 0.6*0.7 = 0.42

One file corrupted:

First one corrupted, second no.

40% probability that the first file is corrupted.

70% probability that the second file is not corrupted.

First one ok, second one corrupted.

60% probability that the first file is not corrupted.

30% probability that the second file is corrupted.

P(X = 1) = 0.4*0.7 + 0.6*0.3 = 0.46

Two files corrupted:

40% probability that the first file is corrupted.

30% probability that the second file is corrupted.

P(X = 2) = 0.4*0.3 = 0.12

A 24 inch board is cut into 3 pieces so that the second piece is twice as long as the first and the third is 3 times as long as
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  first piece = 4 in, second piece = 8 in, third piece = 12 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

total length = 24 inches

first piece = x in

second piece = 2x

third piece = 3x

Equation

               x + 2x + 3x = 24

               6x = 24

               x = 24/6

               x = 4               length of the first piece

second piece = 2(4) = 8 inches

third piece = 3(4) = 12 inches

7.22 (10b-3) =7b-14
faust18 [17]
Multiply 7.22 onto 10b and -3
new equation - 72.2b-21.66=7b-14

add 21.66 onto -14
new equation - 72.2b=7b+7.66

subtract 7b from 72.2
new equation: 65.2b=7.66

divide 65.2 from b
new equation: b=7.66/65.2

final answer: b=0.117
