Answer:

Answer is

a. P (both pumps not available) = 0.016

b. P (both pumps available) = 0.984

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Probability of neither pump is available.

We know that P1 + P2 = 1

P1 = Probability of one pump is available = 0.96

P2 = Probability of a pump not available = 1-0.96 = 0.04

Now the probability of both pump not available will be = P2 x P2

=0.04 x 0.04 = 0.016

b. Probability of both pumps available will be.

Using the equation of probability

P (both pumps available) + P (both pumps unavailable) = 1

P (both pumps available) = (1- P (both pumps unavailable))

P (both pumps available) = 1-0.016

P (both pumps available) = 0.984

10(7k+9p+3) I don’t understand
Llana [10]

Answer:

4=0

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

(-9p + 7) + -1(-9p + 3) = 0

Reorder the terms:

(7 + -9p) + -1(-9p + 3) = 0

Remove parenthesis around (7 + -9p)

7 + -9p + -1(-9p + 3) = 0

Reorder the terms:

7 + -9p + -1(3 + -9p) = 0

7 + -9p + (3 * -1 + -9p * -1) = 0

7 + -9p + (-3 + 9p) = 0

Reorder the terms:

7 + -3 + -9p + 9p = 0

Combine like terms: 7 + -3 = 4

4 + -9p + 9p = 0

Combine like terms: -9p + 9p = 0

4 + 0 = 0

4 = 0

Solving

4 = 0

Need help please <br> find the area of the shape below
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

198.5\ cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Break the figure in three parts as shown in the image I attached.

The figure makes 2 semi circles and 1 rectangle so,

Area of rectangle = Length x breadth

Area of rectangle = 12 x 10

Area of rectangle = 120

Now for the semi circles , we have 2 semi-circles which means area of both semi circles would be

Area of semi circle = \frac{1}{2} \pi r^2\\

so, Area of two semi circles would be = (\frac{1}{2} \pi r^2)2

so, Area of two semi circles would be = \pi r^2

now for the radius we know that,

Diameter = 2 x radius

D = 2r

and the diameter is 10cm so,

10 = 2r

10/2 = r

r = 5cm

so we put r = 5 in the formula ,

Area\ of\ two\ semi\ circles\ = \pi r^2\\Area\ of\ two\ semi\ circles\ =\pi (5)^2\\Area\ of\ two\ semi\ circles\ =25\pi \\Area\ of\ two\ semi\ circles\ =78.5\ cm^2

So now the total area of the figure is

Total Area = Area of rectangle + Area of two semi circles

Total Area = 120 + 78.5

Total Area = 198.5 cm^2
