Christmas Tree lights are used not only for Christmas trees, but sometimes to decorate college dorm rooms. Suppose that a string

has 20 light bulbs. These lights are all wired in series, so that if one light bulb fails, the whole string fails. The probability that any one light fails is 0.02. Each of the individual lights are independent of each other. What is the probability that the string will NOT fail?
a. 0.02
b. 0.40
c. 0.668
d. 0.333

Answer: Hello!

Ok, because the bulbs are wired in series, then if only one fails, all the string fails.

Then we need to see the probability for the 20 bulbs to not fail.

If the probability for each bulb to fail is 0.02, then the complement (or the probability of working fine) is 1 - 0.02 = 0.98

then we have 20 bulbs, and each one has a probability of 0.98 of working alright, then the probability for all them to work alright is the multiplication of this probabilities, this is

0.98^{20} = 0.6676

rounded up in the decimal, we have 0.668

then the correct answer is c.

Find the point(s) of intersection for<br> y = x2 + 3x – 4 and y = 4x + 2
Greeley [361]

Answer:

(6,26)

Step-by-step explanation:

You will take the points and graph them since these are both positive equations they will go up and to the right.

both intersect at (6,26)

also if you forgot how to graph it, I got you

1. find the rate of change (as I will call it) THIS IS YOUR NUMBER NEXT TO THE X!!! this means that the line will go up 4 and over 1 then your whole number, in this example would be 2 is your y-intersect (the place on the y-axis where the line passes) after that you should be able to draw your lines and find the poi!

Please comment if I got something wrong! I don't want to be giving bad advice

1.) Your 3 year investment of $20,000 received 5.2% interested compounded semi annually. What is your total return? ASW
Stella [2.4K]

Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

Principal (p) = $20,000

Interest rate (r) = 5.2% = 0.052

Number of compounding (n) = 2 (semi annually)

Time (t) = 3 years

The total return is calculated as shown below:

A = p(1 + r/n)^nt

A = 20000(1 + 0.052/2)^2*3 = 20000(1 + 0.026)^6

A = 20000(1.1665) = 23,330

A = $23,330
