The AAA system contains 3 independent components in parallel, each with probability of failure 0.4. Find the expected number of
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For each component, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it fails, or it does not. The components are independent. We want to know how many outcomes until r failures. The expected value is given by
In which r is the number of failures we want and p is the probability of a failure.
In this problem, we have that:
r = 1 because we want the first failed unit.
The expected number of systems inspected until the first failed unit is 2.5

Answer:
The vertex form of a quadratic function:
(h,k) - the coordinates of the vertex
If a>0, then the parabola opens upwards, so the vertex is the minimum of the function.
If a<0, then the parabola opens downwards, so the vertex is the maximum of the function.
