The time until failure of an electronic device has an exponential distribution with mean 15 months. If a random sample of five s

uch devices are tested, what is the probability that the first failure among the five devices occurs a after 9 months? b before 12 months?

Answer:

The probability that the first failure occurs among the five devices is given by

(a) 9 months =\frac{9}{15} or  =0.6

(b) 12 months=\frac{12}{15} or = 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

probability is given as the; number of required outcome/ total number of possible outcome.

The actual distance between parks is 24 miles On a map these parks are 8 inches apart How many miles are equal to one inch on th
vaieri [72.5K]

Each inch in the map is equivalent to 8 miles.

Explanation:

There is a distance of 24 miles between two parks. This 24 miles is represented by an 8-inch gap in the map.

So 8 inches on that particular map = 24 miles in real life.

To find the distance that an inch on the map represents we must divide both sides of the above equation. Since we need to calculate how much distance 1 inch represents we divide both the sides by 8 so that 8 inches on the map changes into 1 inch.

\frac{8}{8} inches on the map = \frac{24}{8} miles between the two parks in real life,

1 inch on that particular map = 3 miles in real life.

So each inch on the given map is equal to 8 miles in real life.

1. Consider the following hypotheses:
Andrej [43]

Answer:

See deductions below

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

a) p(y)∧q(y) for some y (Existencial instantiation to H1)

b) q(y) for some y (Simplification of a))

c) q(y) → r(y) for all y (Universal instatiation to H2)

d) r(y) for some y (Modus Ponens using b and c)

e) p(y) for some y (Simplification of a)

f) p(y)∧r(y) for some y (Conjunction of d) and e))

g) ∃x (p(x) ∧ r(x)) (Existencial generalization of f)

2)

a) ¬C(x) → ¬A(x) for all x (Universal instatiation of H1)

b) A(x) for some x (Existencial instatiation of H3)

c) ¬(¬C(x)) for some x (Modus Tollens using a and b)

d) C(x) for some x (Double negation of c)

e) A(x) → ∀y B(y) for all x (Universal instantiation of H2)

f)  ∀y B(y) (Modus ponens using b and e)

g) B(y) for all y (Universal instantiation of f)

h) B(x)∧C(x) for some x (Conjunction of g and d, selecting y=x on g)

i) ∃x (B(x) ∧ C(x)) (Existencial generalization of h)

3) We will prove that this formula leads to a contradiction.

a) ∀y (P (x, y) ↔ ¬P (y, y)) for some x (Existencial instatiation of hypothesis)

b) P (x, y) ↔ ¬P (y, y) for some x, and for all y (Universal instantiation of a)

c) P (x, x) ↔ ¬P (x, x) (Take y=x in b)

But c) is a contradiction (for example, using truth tables). Hence the formula is not satisfiable.

The volume of a cone-shaped funnel is 603 cubic centimeters. The radius of the funnel is 8 centimeters. Find the height of the f
yarga [219]

Answer: 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of cone formula is: pi r^2 h/3

So pi x 8^2 h/3 = 603

H/3 = 2.9991

h = 9 (rounded)

Please Someone help me i got a question and i have a exams please help! i have attached the picture help me!​
MAXImum [283]

Will recommend to keep in touch with picture as name of angles are based on it!

\\

So as you can see BA is parallel to DC as the arrow signs are made on it. And the figure has four sides , therefore we get to know that the above picture is of parallelogram.

\\

\rm\angle B = \angle D

How ?

As we know it's a parallelogram, so there's one property of parallelogram that opposite sides of Angle are equal.

\\

\hookrightarrow \sf2x =130 \degree

\\

\hookrightarrow \sf x =130  \degree\div 2 \degree

\\

\hookrightarrow \sf x = \dfrac{130}{2}

\\

\hookrightarrow \sf x = \dfrac{13 \times 10}{2}

\\

\hookrightarrow \sf x = \dfrac{13 \times\cancel{ 10}}{\cancel2}

\\

\hookrightarrow \sf x = \dfrac{13 \times5}{1}

\\

\hookrightarrow \sf x =13 \times5

\\

\hookrightarrow \sf x =65 \degree

\\

Now Let's find value of y.

\rm \angle DAB =\angle DCB

How ?

As we know it's a parallelogram, so there's one property of parallelogram that opposite sides of Angle are equal.

\\

\dashrightarrow \rm x = y

\\

\dashrightarrow \rm 65 = y

\\

\dashrightarrow \bf y = 65 \degree

\\

  • y + z + 60° = 180°

angles on same line

\\

  • 65 + 60 + z = 180°
  • 125° + z = 180°
  • z = 180° - 125 °
  • z = 55°

At last :-

x = 65°

y = 65°

z = 55°
