Consider a series system composed of 4 separate components where each component has a 30% chance of failing. Assume each compone

nt functions independent of each other and the system will fail if at least one of the components fails. If you have 7 of these systems, what is the probability that exactly 3 of them would function? Clearly state the events of interest and random variable of interest using the context of the problem. Hint: Find the probabi

Answer:

16.15% probability that exactly 3 of them would function

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Probability of each system working:

4 components, which means that n = 4

Each has a 30% probability of failing, so p = 1 - 0.3 = 0.7

For the system to work, all 4 components have to work. This is P(X = 4).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 4) = C_{4,4}.(0.7)^{4}.(0.3)^{0} = 0.2401

0.2401 probability of a system working.

If you have 7 of these systems, what is the probability that exactly 3 of them would function?

Now 7 systems, so n = 7

0.2401 probability of a system working.

We have to find P(X = 3).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 3) = C_{7,3}.(0.2401)^{3}.(0.7599)^{4} = 0.1615

16.15% probability that exactly 3 of them would function

Advocard [28]

Brady studied for 4.5 hours that week

How we determine the total study hours?

The total study hours for Brady is the sum of the hours used in studying on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

He studied for 1.5 hours on Monday

He studied for 0.75 hours on Tuesday

He studied again for 1.25 hours on Wednesday

Lastly, he studied for 1 hour on Thursday, the last day

Total number of study hours=1.5+0.75+1.25+1

Total number of study hours=4.50

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

-0.6309

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the change of base formula,

Log 1/2 to base 3 = Log1/2 ÷ Log 3 = Log 0.5 ÷ Log 3

Log 0.5 = -0.3010

Log3 = 0.4771

Log 0.5 ÷ Log 3 = -0.3010 ÷ 0.4771 = -0.6309
