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

Suppose you have $100 in a savings account earning 2 percent interest a year. After five years, would you have more than $102, e
pentagon [3]
You would have more than $102.

Earning 2% a year in interest would get you $2 in interest the very first year:

100(0.02) = 2

Adding this to the amount in the account, you would have 100+2 = 102 after the first year.

What is the length of the base of a right triangle with an area of 20 square meters and a height of 4 meters? 5 m 10 m 80 m 160
o-na [289]
You find the area of a triangle by using 1/2*b*h where b is the base and h is the height. since we already know the area is 20 and the height is for you plus them in so the problem would be 20= 1/2 (b) (4) then you multiply what you know together to get 20= 2b and then isolate the b by dividing both sides by two so the base should be 10 m

The measures of two complementary angles have a ratio of 3:2 what is the meusure of the larger angle
ozzi

Answer:

54

Step-by-step explanation:

The two angles add to 90 degrees since they are complementary

the ratio is 3:2

Multiply by x

3x:2x

Add them together and set equal to 90

3x+2x=90

5x=90

Divide each side by 5

5x/5 = 90/5

x = 18

The first angle is 3*18 = 54

The second angle is 2*18 = 36
