A satellite system consists of n components and functions on any given day if at least k of the n components function on that da

y. On a rainy day, each of the components independently functions with probability p1, whereas on a dry day, each independently functions with probability p2. If the probability of rain tomorrow is α, what is the probability that the satellite system will function?

Answer:

P = αP(x≥k,p1) + (1-α)P(x≥k,p2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that k of n components function on a day follows a binomial distribution, so the probability is:

P(k,p)=nCk*p^{k}*(1-p)^{n-k}

Where p is the probability that a component function and nCk is \frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}

So, the probability that at least k of the n components function on a day is:

P(x≥k,p) = P(k,p) + P(k+1,p) + P(k+2,p) + ... + P(n,p)

Then, if it is rain, the probability of the function p is equal to p1, if it isn't the probability p is equal to p2, so the probability P that the satellite system will function is:

P = αP(x≥k,p1) + (1-α)P(x≥k,p2)

Where, P(x≥k,p1) and P(x≥k,p2) are equal to:

P(x≥k,p1) = P(k,p1) + P(k+1,p1) + P(k+2,p1) + ... + P(n,p1)

P(x≥k,p2) = P(k,p2) + P(k+1,p2) + P(k+2,p2) + ... + P(n,p2)

Given a triangle MTN, prove that
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

<em></em>\angle m + \angle t + \angle n = 180<em></em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Show that:

\angle m + \angle t + \angle n = 180^o

To make the proof easier, I've added a screenshot of the triangle.

We make use of alternate angles to complete the proof.

In the attached triangle, the two angles beside \angle m are alternate to \angle t and \angle n

i.e.

\angle 1 = \angle t

\angle 2 = \angle n

Using angle on a straight line theorem, we have:

\angle 1 + \angle m + \angle 2 = 180

Substitute values for (1) and (2)

\angle t + \angle m + \angle n = 180

Rewrite as:

<em></em>\angle m + \angle t + \angle n = 180<em> -- proved</em>
