Among cases of heart pacemaker malfunctions, were found to be caused by firmware, which is software programmed into the device.

If the firmware is tested in different pacemakers randomly selected from this batch of and the entire batch is accepted if there are no failures, what is the probability that the firmware in the entire batch will be accepted? Is this procedure likely to result in the entire batch being accepted?

Complete question is;

Among 8834 cases of heart pacemaker malfunctions, 504 were found to be caused by firmware, which is software programmed into the device. If the firmware is tested in three different pacemakers randomly selected from this batch of 8834 and the entire batch is accepted if there are no failures, what is the probability that the firmware in the entire batch will be accepted? Is this procedure likely to result in the entire batch being accepted?

Answer:

P(All three are not caused by firmware) = 83.84%

Probability that the entire batch will be accepted = 0.8384

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that out of the 8834 cases of heart pacemaker malfunctions, 504 were found to be caused by firmware.

Thus,

Cases not caused by firmware = 8834 - 504 = 8330

So, probability of the first case not being affected by firmware is;

P(first case not caused by firmware) = 8330/8834

Also,

Probability of second case not being affected by firmware is given as;

P(second case not caused by firmware|first case not affected by firmware) = 8329/8833

Similarly,

Probability of third case not being affected by firmware is given as;

P(third case not caused by firmware|first and second not caused by firmware) = 8328/8832

Now, looking at the 3 Probabilities gotten, it is obvious that the events are not independent because the probability of occurence of one event depends on the probability of occurence of the other event.

Thus, we will make use of the general multiplication rule which is;

P(A & B) = P(B) × P(A|B)

Thus;

P(All three not caused by firmware) = P(first case not caused by firmware) × P(second case not caused by firmware|first case not affected by firmware) × P(third case not caused by firmware|first and second not caused by firmware)

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

P(All three not caused by firmware) = (8330/8834) × (8329/8833) × (8328/8832)

P(All three are not caused by firmware) = 0.83840506679 ≈ 83.84%

Answer:

  1. 125 in²
  2. 676 km²
  3. 20 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem tells you the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides. (This is the version you use for problem 2.)

This also means the square on one side is the difference between the square on the hypotenuse and the square on the other side. (Use this version for problems 1 and 3.)

1. ? = 200 in² -75 in² = 125 in²

2. ? = 576 km² + 100 km² = 676 km²

3. ? = 36 square units - 16 square units = 20 square units

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

100 ≥ 12x + 28

Step-by-step explanation:

He needs $100 for the new bike but already has the $28 so you also have to add 12x because thats what you need to find. X represents the amount of days he has to work.
