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

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%

What are the mean and the mode of the following sets of data 5 12 1 5 7

Alik [6]

To find the mean (average), u add up all ur numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are.
mean = (5 + 12 + 1 + 5 + 7) / 5 = 30/5 = 6

To find the mode (and there does not have to be one)...u find the number that is used the most. That number would be 5...because it is used twice, whereas, the other numbers are just used once.

Rick is on a bicycle trip. Every 444 days he bikes 230 \text{ km}230 km230, space, k, m.If Rick keeps this same pace for 161616

Katarina [22]

For this problem, we use the approach of ratio and proportion. Assuming that the given ratio of 444 days per 230 km is constant all throughout, we can determine the number of days or distance as long as one of the two is given. In this case, the solution is as follows:

444 days/230 km = 161616 days/distance
Distance = 83,720 km
