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

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (6,3) has a slope of -1/3
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

y = -1/3x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

so y = 3, x = 6, m = -1/3

then 3 = (-1/3)6 + b

3 = -2 + b

b = 5

so y = -1/3x + 5

HELP ME PLEASE AND EXPLAIN IT TOO! 28 Points!!!!!!!!!!

X=4
First find the solution to (x+1) ft. I chose to guess the answer as 4 and it worked (you’ll have to guess). I then plugged 4 into the other equation 2x. It became 2•4. Solving give the side length of 8 ft. Then you have to check to make sure they both have the same area. To do this just solve the equations.
First rectangle- 4•4= 16 ft area
Second rectangle- 2•8 = 16 ft area
( I’m really sorry if this is confusing)

Find x-intercept and y-intercept

x-intercept = 3 → (3, 0)

y-intercept = -6 → (0, -6)

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Substitute:

m=\dfrac{-6-0}{0-3}=\dfrac{-6}{-3}=2

Answer: 2
