Suppose that a satellite defense system is established in which four satellites acting independently each have a 0.9 chance of d

etecting an incoming ballistic missile. a) What is the probability that all 4 satellites will correctly detect the next incoming missile? b) What is the probability that at least one of the four satellites will correctly detect the next incoming missile?

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

21. The difference between two numbers is 29. If five times the smaller is subtracted from twice the larger,
Ymorist [56]

Answer: 48

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to write a system of equations:

The difference between two numbers is 29. Difference means one number (y) minus another number (x) equals 29.

y-x =29

If five times the smaller ( 5 times x , x is the smaller number because is the number to subtract) is subtracted from twice the larger, (2y)

The result will be one

2y-5x =1

Now, we have to multiply the first equation by 2, and subtract the second equation to the first one:

2y -2x = 58

-

2y-5x =1

__________

3x =57

Solve for x:

x =57/3 =19

Replacing the value of x on any equation:

y-x =29

y-19 =29

y = 29+19 = 48

48 (y)> 19(x)

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
