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:

19) n = -14

20) x = 4

21) b= -14

22) x = 2

23) x = -1

24) x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

19) Use the distributive property to get rid of the parentheses. You will get:    20-4n = 76. So, n = -14.

20) Multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to get: -8 + x = -4. So, x = 4

21) Add 3 to both sides to get: \frac{b}{14} = -1. So, b = -14

22) Use the distributive property to get rid of the parentheses. You will get: -40 - 5x = -50. Then, add 40 to both sides to get: -5x = -10. So, x = 2.

23) Use the distributive property to get rid of the parentheses. You will get: -72 = -64 + 8x. Then, add 64 to both sides to get: -8 = 8x. So, x = -1

24) Add 2 to both sides to get: \frac{x}{3} = -3. So, x = -9

Hope this helps :)

Combine like terms to create an equivalent expression 2s+ (-4s) pls help
pav-90 [236]

The equivalent expression to 2s + (-4s) is -2s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

In sums like these, it is easier to take the common term out of the simplification.

In the expression 2s + (-4s), the common term between 2s and -4s is the term s. So we take the term s as the common factor.

So taking s out of 2s + (-4s) we get s (2+(-4)).

Step 2:

If we multiply a positive with a negative we get a negative. S0 +(-4) = -4.

2s + (-4s) = s (2-4) = s(-2) = -2s.

So the equivalent expression to 2s + (-4s) is -2s.
