Answer: a) 0.6561

b) 0.9999

Step-by-step explanation:

We use Binomial distribution here (Since each satellite is independent of each other.).

In  Binomial distribution :P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}

, where P(X) = probability of getting x successes in n trials.

p= probability of getting success in each trial.

As per given , we have

n= 4

p= 0.9

Let x = Number of  satellites will correctly detect the next incoming missile.

a) The probability that all 4 satellites will correctly detect the next incoming missile:

P(x)=^4C_4(0.9)^4(1-0.9)^{0}

P(x)=(1)(0.9)^4(1)=0.6561

∴the probability that all 4 satellites will correctly detect the next incoming missile=0.6561

b) The probability that at least one of the four satellites will correctly detect the next incoming missile :

P(X\geq1)=1-P(X

∴the probability that at least one of the four satellites will correctly detect the next incoming missile = 0.9999

What is the z score of x=12 if it is two standard deviations to the right of the mean?
Tanzania [10]

The value of the Z-score will be equal to 2.

<h3>What is Z-score?</h3>

The z score indicates how many standard deviations your score is from the mean.

At the mean position, the standard deviation is 0 now the z score is the measure of the data which is how far from the mean. So the given data is at two standard deviations to the right of the mean so the Z-Score will be 2.

Therefore the value of the Z-score will be equal to 2.
