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:

D.Place the compass on a point on the original line.

Complete Question:

A.Create only one arc that intersects the original line.

B.Create two arcs that intersect the original line.

C.Place the compass on a point off the original line.

D.Place the compass on a point on the original line.

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the steps of constructing parallel lines and a perpendicular line through a point on the line

# Contracting parallel lines

- Given: Line AB and point P not on AB

1. Draw a slant line through point P and intersects AB at point C, this line is the transversal of the parallel lines

2. Place the pin of the compass at point C and draw an arc intersects AB at D and CP at E

3. Without changing the distance of the compass put the pin of the compass on point P and draw an arc intersects CP at point Q

4. Use the compass to measure the distance from D to E and place the pin of the compass at point Q and draw an arc intersects the arc from P to CP at point U

5. Join P and U by a line this line is parallel to AB

# Constructing a perpendicular line through a point on the line

- Given line AB and point P lies on it

1. Place your compass pin at P and draw an arc of any size below AB that crosses the line twice at points C and D

2. Stretch the compass to a larger distance

3. Place the compass pin on point C and draw a small arc above the line

4. Without changing the distance of the compass place the compass pin on point D and draw another arc intersects the arc from C at point E

5. Using a straightedge, join P and E where PE is perpendicular to AB

* Lets find the same steps in the constructions

∵ In first construction we put the pin of the compass at point C which  lies in the original line AB

∵ In second construction we put the pin of the compass at point P which lies in the original line AB

∴ The common step is:  "Place the compass on a point on the original line"
