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

Answer:

If KE = OS then we can deduce that the trapezoid is constructed of 3 equilateral triangles and thus we can easily work out the angles.

OSK = 60

SKE = 120

KEP = 120

EPO  = 60

We can also easily work out the perimeter since we can deduce that PE = SK = KE and thus the perimeter is 5 * 8 = 40

Fernando has been saving money to buy an e-book reader. A store has just marked down the price of its readers by 40%. Each reade
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

<h2> <em>$85</em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We are expected to solve for the amount off the reader after 40% discount and  $25 refund(rebate)

Now given that the book is $150

40% of 150

=(40/100)*150

=0.4*150

=$60

<em>The total amount off includes the markdown and rebate. </em>

<em>the total amount is</em>

<em>60+25=$85</em>

4. Nine fruit juice bottles contain 4 1/2 litres of fruit juice between them.
brilliants [131]

Answer:

2\frac{1}{2} litres or 2.5 litres

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, 9 fruit juice bottles contain 4\frac{1}{2} litres of fruit juice. Therefore, to find how many litres of fruit juice would be contained in 5 fruit juice bottles, you multiply 5 by 4\frac{1}{2} litres and you divide the product by 9.

i.e. Let the quantity of the fruit juice for 5 bottles be x.

9 juice bottles ===> 4\frac{1}{2} litres

5 juice bottles ===> x

∴x = \frac{5 * 4\frac{1}{2} }{9} litres

x = \frac{5 * 4.5}{9} litres

x = \frac{22.5}{9} litres

x = 2.5 litres or 2\frac{1}{2} litres

Hope this helps!!!
