5. To prevent a flooded basement, a homeowner has installed two special pumps that work automatically and independently to pump

water if the water level gets too high. One pump is
rather old and does not work 28% of the time, and the second pump is newer and does not work 9% of the time. Find the probability that both pumps will fail to work at the same time.

Answer:

The probability that both pumps will fail to work at the same time is 0.025 or 2.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that both pumps will fail to work at the same time is the multiplication of the probabilities that the pomps fail.

That is

  • the probability that the old pump fail = \frac{28}{100}
  • the probability that the newer pump fail = \frac{9}{100}

Then, the probability that both fail at the same time is:

\frac{28}{100} * \frac{9}{100} = 0.025

The measure of the supplement of an angle is three times the measure of the
gtnhenbr [62]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<h3><em>x=45degrees</em></h3>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Let the angle to be solved be x

Let the supplement/compliment by y

x+y=90 Complimentary angles add up to 90 degrees.

x+3y=180 Supplementary angles add up to 180 degrees, the other angle is thrice the other compliment.

Evaluating this as a system:

x+y=90 Isolate x:

x=90−y Input into the other equation:

(90−y)+3y=180 Combine like terms, isolate y and its coefficients:

2y=90 Isolate y

y=45 Input into the first equation:

x+45=90 Isolate x:

x=45degrees
