Two faulty machines, M1 and M2, are repeatedly run synchronously in parallel (i.e., both machines execute one run, then both exe

cute a second run, and so on). On each run, M1 fails with probability p1 and M2 fails with probability p2, all failure events being independent. Let the random variables X1, X2 denote the number of runs until the first failure of M1, M2 respectively; thus X1, X2 have geometric distributions with parameters p1, p2 respectively. Let X denote the number of runs until the first failure of either machine. Compute the distribution of X. What is its expectation?

The event that either M1 or M2 fails has probability

P(M_1\text{ fails or }M_2\text{ fails})=P(M_1\text{ fails})+P(M_2\text{ fails})-P(M_1\text{ and }M_2\text{ both fail})

by the addition rule. Failure events are independent, so

P(M_1\text{ and }M_2\text{ both fail})=P(M_1\text{ fails})P(M_2\text{ fails})

so that

P(M_1\text{ fails or }M_2\text{ fails})=p_1+p_2-p_1p_2

Denote this probability by p. Then X follows a geometric distribution with this parameter p and has density

P(X=x)=\begin{cases}(1-p)^{x-1}p&\text{for }x\ge1\\0&\text{otherwise}\end{cases}

The expectation is \dfrac1p=\dfrac1{p_1+p_2-p_1p_2}.

15/30 = n/34 round to the nearest tenth.
avanturin [10]
The equation given in the question has to be answered to the nearest tenth. The only thing that one should be careful about is the cross multiplication part. Other than that there is no difficulty in the given problem. Now let us get down to the equation in the question.
15/30 = n/34
30 * n = 15 * 34
30n = 510
n = 510/30
   = 51/3
   = 17
So the value of the unknown variable "n" comes out to be 17.

Option B, 1/3

Since pepper topping can be in any size pizza, it remains as a 1/3 probability, since there are three toppings per size.
