Answer:

0.095163

Step-by-step explanation:

given that a starter motor used in a space vehicle has a high rate of reliability and was reputed to start on any given occasion with probability .99999

Here we find that for any start, there are exactly two outcomes either success or failure.

Also each start is independent of the other since p = 0.99999 for succss is given constant.

Thus X no of successes is binomial with p = 0.99999 and n =10000

If Y is taken as failure then Y is binomial with p' = 0.00001 and n =10000

Required probability

= the probability of at least one failure in the next 10,000 starts

= 1-P(no failure in 10000 starts)

=1-(0.99999)^{10000} \\=0.095163

3. Which statements about the line that passes through (-2, 0) and (2, -4) are true?
diamong [38]

Answer:

B, C, and D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's go through each answer choice.

A: To find the slope of a line from two points, we use this formula: (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1). Plugging in the values (-2,0) and (2, -4), we get:

  • (-4-0)/(2+2)
  • -4/4
  • -1

Because option A says the slope is 1, but we got -1, option A is false.

B: To find the y-intercept, we use this formula: b = y_1 - m * x_1

  • b = 0 -(-1) * (-2)
  • b = 1 * (-2)
  • b = -2  

Since we know the value of b is the y-intercept, we could write the y-intercept as (0,-2). Therefore, option B is true.

C: The equation of a line (in slope-intercept form) is y = mx + b, where y - y-coordinate, m = slope, x = x-coordinate, and b = y-intercept. Since we already solved for the y-intercept and slope, let's plug in those values:

  • y = mx +b
  • y = -x -2

As you can see, the equation we got here matches the one in option C, meaning it's true.

D: We know that a point is written like this: (x, y). If the x-coordinate is not zero but the y-coordinate is, then it's the x-intercept. Since the question says that (-2,0) is one of the points the line passes through, and option D says that the x-intercept is (-2,0), it's true.

Mila [183]

Answer:

0.867 in decimal form

13/15 in fraction form

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Add

2/3 + 1/5 = 10/15 + 3/15

2. Simplify the sum, 13/15

1 is the greatest common divisor of 13 and 15. The result can't be further reduced.

3. Convert 13/15 into a decimal.
