The probability any one system works is 0.99
So the probability of any one system failing is 1-0.99 = 0.01, so basically a 1% chance of failure for any one system
Multiply out the value 0.01 with itself four times
0.01*0.01*0.01*0.01 = 0.000 000 01
I'm using spaces to make the number more readable
So the probability of all four systems failing is 0.00000001
Subtract this value from 1 to get
1 - 0.00000001 = 0.99999999
The answer is 0.99999999 which is what we'd expect. The probability of at least one of the systems working is very very close to 1 (aka 100%)
D is correct because you could put in a value for x and get a true value for y
exg
x=3
y=14(3)-9
y=42-9
y=33
Answer: a = 3.5
Step-by-step explanation:
14=4a
divide both sides by 4
14/4 = 3.5
4a/4 =1a or a
so a= 3.5
