Answer:
≈ %
Step-by-step explanation:
The person will wait for no more than 20 minutes if they arrive when the bus is going to stop in 20 minutes, which means that they must arrive 25 minutes after the previous bus stops. So the probability that the person will not wait for more than 20 minutes will be which is about 44.4%.
Answer:
a. 0.1536
b. 0.9728
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability that a component fails, P(Y) = 0.2
The number of components in the system = 4
The number of components required for the subsystem to operate = 2
a. By binomial theorem, we have;
The probability that exactly 2 last longer than 1,000 hours, P(Y = 2) is given as follows;
P(Y = 2) = × 0.2² × 0.8² = 0.1536
The probability that exactly 2 last longer than 1,000 hours, P(Y = 2) = 0.1536
b. The probability that the system last longer than 1,000 hours, P(O) = The probability that no component fails + The probability that only one component fails + The probability that two component fails leaving two working
Therefore, we have;
P(O) = P(Y = 0) + P(Y = 1) + P(Y = 2)
P(Y = 0) = × 0.2⁰ × 0.8⁴ = 0.4096
P(Y = 1) = × 0.2¹ × 0.8³ = 0.4096
P(Y = 2) = × 0.2² × 0.8² = 0.1536
∴ P(O) = 0.4096 + 0.4096 + 0.1536 = 0.9728
The probability that the subsystem operates longer than 1,000 hours = 0.9728

Answer:
A. 3×3
B. [0, 1, 5]
C. (rows, columns) = (# equations, # variables) for matrix A; vector x remains unchanged; vector b has a row for each equation.
Step-by-step explanation:
A. The matrix A has a row for each equation and a column for each variable. The entries in each column of a given row are the coefficients of the corresponding variable in the equation the row represents. If the variable is missing, its coefficient is zero.
This system of equations has 3 equations in 3 variables, so matrix A has dimensions ...
A dimensions = (rows, columns) = (# equations, # variables) = (3, 3)
Matrix A is 3×3.
__
B. The second row of A represents the second equation:
The coefficients of the variables are 0, 1, 5. These are the entries in row 2 of matrix A.
__
C. As stated in part A, the size of matrix A will match the number of equations and variables in the system. If the number of variables remains the same, the number of rows of A (and b) will reflect the number of equations. (The number of columns of A (and rows of x) will reflect the number of variables.)
