The length of time between breakdowns of an essential piece of equipment is important in the decision of the use of auxiliary eq

uipment. An engineer thinks that the best model for time between breakdowns of a generator is the exponential distribution with a mean of 14 days. If the generator has just broken down, what is the probability that it will break down in the next 21 days

Answer: The probability that it will break down in the next 21 days is 0.777

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable x represent

time between breakdowns of a generator

Given that mean = 14 days,

Decay parameter, m = 1/14

The probability density function for exponential distribution is expressed as

F(x) = me-mx

It becomes

f(x) = 1/14e-(x × 1/14)

P(X < x) = 1 - e- mx

The probability that it will break down in the next 21 days is expressed as

P(x ≤ 21) = P(x < 21)

Therefore,

P(x < 21) = 1 - e-(1/14 × 21)

= 1 - e-1.5

= 1 - 0.223 = 0.777

P(x ≤ 21) = 0.777

Which expression is equivalnt (-18) - 64n
Naily [24]

Answer:

Your correct answer is option C. -2 (9 + 32n)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

Options are not given in the question

Given First degree expression:

-18-64n

= (-2)×9 + (-2)×32n

Take (-2) common, we get

= (-2)( 9+32n)

Therefore you get your answer of option C. -2(9+32n)

Leokris [45]

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

Cities where there are major league baseball teams will have high population density. i.e densely populated

This is because baseball will attract several teams of players, coaches, lines men, instructors, spectators and supporters who would like participate in the game.

A major league attracts both local and international players and spectators thereby causing a mixed concentration of both citizens and non-citizens.

This therefore will accommodate several divorced citizens and non-citizens into the city.

Calculate the average travel time for each distance, and then use the results to calculate. A 6-column table with 3 rows in the
BigorU [14]

The average travel time is simply the mean travel time between the given points

  • The average time that it takes for the car to travel the first 0.25m is 2.23s.
  • The average time to travel just between 0.25m and 0.50m is 0.9s.
  • Given the time taken to travel the second 0.25 m section, the velocity would be 0.28m/s.

<u>(a) The average time to travel the first 0.25m</u>

The time travel in the first 0.25m are: 2.24s, 2.21s and 2.23s.

So, the average time to travel is:

Time = \frac{2.24s + 2.21s + 2.23s}{3}

Time = \frac{6.68s}{3}

Time = 2.23s

<u>(b) The average time to travel just between 0.25m and 0.50m</u>

The time travel in the 0.50m are: 3.16s, 3.08s and 3.15s.

So, the average time to travel this distance is:

Time = \frac{3.16s + 3.08s + 3.15s}{3}

Time = \frac{9.39s}{3}

Time = 3.13s

The average time to travel between both distance is the difference between the average time of each distance.

So, we have:

Average = 3.13s - 2.23s

Average = 0.9s

<u>(c) The velocity in the second 0.25m section</u>

The distance and time are:

Distance = 0.25m

Time = 0.9s

So, the velocity is:

Velocity = \frac{Distance}{Time}

This gives

Velocity = \frac{0.25m}{0.9s}

Velocity = 0.28m/s
