Answer:

0.9999

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random variable that measures the time that a switch will survive.

If X has an exponential distribution with an average life β=44, then the probability that a switch will survive less than n years is given by

\bf P(X

So, the probability that a switch fails in the first year is

\bf P(X

Now we have 100 of these switches installed in different systems, and let Y be the random variable that measures the the probability that exactly k switches will fail in the first year.

Y can be modeled with a binomial distribution where the probability of “success” (failure of a switch) equals 0.0225 and  

\bf P(Y=k)=\binom{100}{k}(0.02247)^k(1-0.02247)^{100-k}

where  

\bf \binom{100}{k} equals combinations of 100 taken k at a time.

The probability that at most 15 fail during the first year is

\bf \sum_{k=0}^{15}\binom{100}{k}(0.02247)^k(1-0.02247)^{100-k}=0.9999

If the number of professors in a college is P and the number of students is S, and there are 19 times as many students as profes
morpeh [17]

Answer:

S =19P\\S-19P = 0                              

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Let P be the number of professor and S be the student in a college.

According to the question:

There are 19 times as many students as professors.

We have to write an equation to show the given relationship between professors and students.

S =19P\\S-19P = 0

The above situation is the situation that represents the given relationship.

bazaltina [42]
Since the interior is 170 the exteriro must be 10 degrees. There is a total of 360 degrees so 360/10=36 or 36 sides.

Explain how you would use algebra tiles to solve x - 3 = 7
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Start by laying out 7 tiles, and then adding 3. Whatever that number of tiles is equals x.

x = 10

10 - 3 = 7
