Marcia dissolved 1 kg of salt in 3 litres of water
Bobby dissolved 2 pounds of salt in 7 pints of water
We know that
1 litre = 2.11 pints
We also know that
1 pound = 0.4535 kg
Now if we take the case of Bobby, and convert the pound to kg then
1 pound = 0.4535 kg
2 pounds = (0.4535 * 2) kg
 <span>                 = 0.907 kg</span> <span>               
                 = 0.91 kg</span>
Bobby dissolved the salt in 7 pints of water
We know
2.11 pints = 1 litre
Then
7 pints = (7/2.11) litre
 <span>            = 3.32 litres</span>
So we now see that Bobby has dissolved 0.91 kg of salt in 3.32 litres of water
Marcia dissolved 1 kg of salt in 3 litres of water.
So Marcia has made a more concentrated solution since she has dissolved more salt in less amount of water whereas Bobby has dissolved less amount of salt in more water.

Military radar and missile detection systems are designed to warn a country of enemy attacks. A reliability question deals with
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a particular detection system has a 0.83 probability of detecting a missile attack.

Also each system is independent of the other to detect missile attack.

a)  the probability that a single detection system will detect an attack=0.83

b) the probability that at least one of the systems will detect the attack given two systems= 1-Prob no system detects

=1-(1-0.83)(1-0.83)\\\\=1-0.0289\\=0.9711

c)  If three systems are installed,  the probability that at least one of the systems  will detect the attack

= 1- none of the three systems detect attack

= (1-0.17^3)\\=1-0.004913\\=0.995087

d) We find that probability of detecting is more if we increase the system form 1 to 2 and 2 to 3.

Hence for safety and defence purpose multiple detection system is recommended.
