The life of a red bulb used in a traffic signal can be modeled using an exponential distribution with an average life of 24 mont

hs. The maintenance worker inspects the signal every year. • What is probability that the red bulb will need to be replaced at the first inspection? • If the bulb is in good condition at the end of 18 months, what is the probability that the bulb will be in good condition at the end of 24 months? HINT: Use P(A | B) = P(A∩B) P(B) • If the signal has six red bulbs, what is the probability that at least one of them needs replacement at the first inspection? Assume distribution of lifetime of each bulb is independent.

Answer:

See steps below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random variable that measures the lifespan of a bulb.

If the random variable X is exponentially distributed and X has an average value of 24 month, then its probability density function is

\bf f(x)=\frac{1}{24}e^{-x/24}\;(x\geq 0)

and its cumulative distribution function (CDF) is

\bf P(X\leq t)=\int_{0}^{t} f(x)dx=1-e^{-t/24}

• What is probability that the red bulb will need to be replaced at the first inspection?

The probability that the bulb fails the first year is

\bf P(X\leq 12)=1-e^{-12/24}=1-e^{-0.5}=0.39347

• If the bulb is in good condition at the end of 18 months, what is the probability that the bulb will be in good condition at the end of 24 months?

Let A and B be the events,

A = “The bulb will last at least 24 months”

B = “The bulb will last at least 18 months”

We want to find P(A | B).

By definition P(A | B) = P(A∩B)P(B)

but B⊂A, so  A∩B = B and  

\bf P(A | B) = P(B)P(B) = (P(B))^2

We have  

\bf P(B)=P(X>18)=1-P(X\leq 18)=1-(1-e^{-18/24})=e^{-3/4}=0.47237

hence,

\bf P(A | B)=(P(B))^2=(0.47237)^2=0.22313

• If the signal has six red bulbs, what is the probability that at least one of them needs replacement at the first inspection? Assume distribution of lifetime of each bulb is independent

If the distribution of lifetime of each bulb is independent, then we have here a binomial distribution of six trials with probability of “success” (one bulb needs replacement at the first inspection) p = 0.39347

Now the probability that exactly k bulbs need replacement is

\bf \binom{6}{k}(0.39347)^k(1-0.39347)^{6-k}

<em>Probability that at least one of them needs replacement at the first inspection = 1- probability that none of them needs replacement at the first inspection. </em>

This means that,

<em>Probability that at least one of them needs replacement at the first inspection =  </em>

\bf 1-\binom{6}{0}(0.39347)^0(1-0.39347)^{6}=1-(0.60653)^6=0.95021

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles between the parallel sides add up to 180 degrees.

So 180-70 = 110 degrees.

Answer:

don't know

Step-by-step explanation:

Becky went scuba diving. The inequality statement compares the magnitude of two depths that she reached.

1-28] > 1-3

What does the inequality statement show?

Select from the drop-down menus to correctly complete the statement.

-28 is greater

than-3, but 28 m below sea level is a greater

depth than 3 m below sea level.

Will give brainliest <br> A ?<br> B?<br> C ?
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

A: 180°         B: 360°         C: 540°

Step-by-step explanation:

A: The measures of interior angles of a triangle sum to 180°. Since figure ABC is a triangle, the interior angles of figure ABC sum to 180°.

B: We can see the quadrilateral ACDE is a trapezoid. If you can see, the trapezoid can be split into two triangles if you connect points C and E. As U mentioned before, the measures of interior angles of a triangle sum to 180°. Since we know figure ACDE can be split into <u>two triangles</u> we have to do: 180x2 which is 360°.

C: Now that we know the Pentagon ABCDE can be split into 3 triangles(1 from figure ABC and 2 from figure ACDE), we have to multiply 180 by 3 because like I mentioned before, the measures of interior angles of a triangle sum to 180°. So, 180x3=540°.
