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:

a=22.5\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal

so

In this problem

If polygon RSUPE is similar to polygon KQUIC

then

\frac{RS}{KQ}=\frac{RE}{KC}

substitutes the values and solve for a

\frac{a+2}{14}=\frac{17.5}{10}\\ \\10a+20=14*17.5\\ \\10a=245-20\\ \\a=225/10\\ \\a=22.5\ units

What is associative property?
Alenkasestr [34]

Associative Property states that grouping symbols does not affect the outcome. This property works for Addition and Multiplication:  

2 + (3 + 4) = (2 + 3) + 4

6 • (5 • 4) = (6 • 5) • 4

State the horizontal asymptote of the rational function. For full credit, explain the reasoning you used to find the horizontal
Rzqust [24]

So here are the rules of horizontal asymptotes:

  • Degree of Numerator > Degree of Denominator: No horizontal asymptote
  • Degree of Numerator = Degree of Denominator: y=\frac{\textsf{leading coefficient of numerator}}{\textsf{leading coefficient of denominator}}
  • Degree of Numerator < Degree of Denominator: y = 0

Looking at the rational function, since the degree of the numerator is 2 and the degree of the denominator is 1 (and 2 > 1), this means that <u>this function has no horizontal asymptote.</u>
