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}.

George bought socks for "$"300 and planned to sell them for $6 a pair. write an inequality to find the minimum number of socks h
Anit [1.1K]

The inequality <u>6s - 300 > 210</u> represents the minimum number of socks (s) when George bought socks for "$"300 and planned to sell them for $6 a pair, and want to make a profit of more than 210.

In the question, we are given that George bought socks for $300.

Therefore, George's total cost = $300.

We assume the number of pairs of socks George sells to be s.

The unit price per pair quoted by George = $6

Therefore, George's total sales = $6s.

We know that the profit over a transaction is given as the difference between sales and costs, that is,

The profit = The total sales - the total costs,

or, profit = 6s - 300.

In the question, we are required to make a profit of more than 210.

This can be shown by the inequality,

6s - 300 > 210.

Thus, the inequality <u>6s - 300 > 210</u> represents the minimum number of socks (s) when George bought socks for "$"300 and planned to sell them for $6 a pair, and want to make a profit of more than 210.

Simplify to create an equivalent expression 2-6(-5t+1)
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

30t - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember to follow PEMDAS. First, distribute -6 to all terms within the parenthesis:

2 -6(-5t + 1) = 2 + (-6 * -5t) + (-6 * 1)

2 + (30t) + (-6) = 2 + 30t - 6

Simplify. Combine like terms:

2 + 30t - 6 = 30t + (-6 + 2) = 30t - 4

30t - 4 is your answer.
