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

Are the irrational numbers closed under addition?
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Irrational numbers are not closed under addition.

Step-by-step explanation:

Irrational numbers are the numbers that cannot be expressed in the form of a fraction \frac{x}{y}. In other words we can say that irrational number,s decimal expantion does not cease to end.

The closure property of addition in irrational numbers say that sum of two irrational number is always a rational number, But this is not true. It is not necessary that the sum is always irrational some time it may be rational.

This can be understood with the help of an example:

let (2+√2) and (-√2) be two irrational number. Their sum is (2+√2)+(-√2) = 2, which is clearly a rational number.

Hence, irrational numbers are not closed under addition.

Triangle ABC has vertices A(4, 5), B(0, 5), and C(3, –1). The triangle is translated 3 units to the left and 1 unit up. What are
tankabanditka [31]

The coordinates of point B' are (-3, 6).

<h2>Given that</h2>

Triangle ABC has vertices A(4, 5), B(0, 5), and C(3, –1).

The triangle is translated as 3 units to the left and 1 unit up.

<h3>We have to determine</h3>

What are the coordinates of B' after the translation?

<h3>According to the question</h3>

Triangle ABC has vertices A(4, 5), B(0, 5), and C(3, –1).

The triangle is translated as 3 units to the left and 1 unit up.

To find the coordinates of B', we will shift the x-coordinate of point B to left by 3 units and the y-coordinate of point B to 1 unit up.

After the given transformation the coordinates of point B' would be:

\rm B(0, \ 5) = B (0-3, \ 5+1) = B(-3, \ 6)

Therefore, the coordinates of point B' are (-3, 6).
