E. what component must be compatible with every other component of the computer?

1 answer:

8 0

The correct answer: The motherboard

The motherboard which is a piece of technology which has most of the electronics of a personal computer is (usually) found at the center most part of a Central Processing unit (CPU).

The motheboard needs to be compatible with all the components found in the Central Processing Unit because almost all the important components is connected to it. Just imagine if the power which the power suppy supplies to the motherboard is inadequate due to electrical incompatibility, do you think the Central processing unit will work? It won't. As a matter of fact if you turn on the CPU, it will just switch off on itself in just a few seconds.

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

a. 1365 ways

b. Probability = 0.4096

c. Probability = 0.5904

Explanation:

Given

PCs = 15

Purchase = 3

Solving (a): Ways to select 4 computers out of 15, we make use of Combination formula as follows;

$^nC_r = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}$

Where $n = 15\ and\ r = 4$

$^{15}C_4 = \frac{15!}{(15-4)!4!}$

$^{15}C_4 = \frac{15!}{11!4!}$

$^{15}C_4 = \frac{15 * 14 * 13 * 12 * 11!}{11! * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1}$

$^{15}C_4 = \frac{15 * 14 * 13 * 12}{4 * 3 * 2 * 1}$

$^{15}C_4 = \frac{32760}{24}$

$^{15}C_4 = 1365$

Hence, there are 1365 ways 

Solving (b): The probability that exactly 1 will be defective (from the selected 4)

First, we calculate the probability of a PC being defective (p) and probability of a PC not being defective (q)

From the given parameters; 3 out of 15 is detective;

So;

$p = 3/15$

$p = 0.2$

$q = 1 - p$

$q = 1 - 0.2$

$q = 0.8$

Solving further using binomial;

$(p + q)^n = p^n + ^nC_1p^{n-1}q + ^nC_2p^{n-2}q^2 + .....+q^n$

Where n = 4

For the probability that exactly 1 out of 4 will be defective, we make use of

$Probability = ^nC_3pq^3$

Substitute 4 for n, 0.2 for p and 0.8 for q

$Probability = ^4C_3 * 0.2 * 0.8^3$

$Probability = \frac{4!}{3!1!} * 0.2 * 0.8^3$

$Probability = 4 * 0.2 * 0.8^3$

$Probability = 0.4096$

Solving (c): Probability that at least one is defective;

In probability, opposite probability sums to 1;

Hence;

Probability that at least one is defective + Probability that at none is defective = 1

Probability that none is defective is calculated as thus;

$Probability = q^n$

Substitute 4 for n and 0.8 for q

$Probability = 0.8^4$

$Probability = 0.4096$

Substitute 0.4096 for Probability that at none is defective

Probability that at least one is defective + 0.4096= 1

Probability = 1 - 0.4096

Probability = 0.5904
