For about $1 billion in new space shuttle expenditures, NASA has proposed to install new heat pumps, power heads, heat exchanger

s, and combustion chambers. These will lower the mission catastrophe probability to 1 in 120. Assume that these changes are made. Calculate the probability of one or more catastrophes in the next:
(1) two missions
probablility=
(2) five missions
probablility=
(3) ten missions
probablility=
(4) fifty missions
probablility=

Answer:

The probability of one or more catastrophes in:

(1) Two mission is 0.0166.

(2) Five mission is 0.0410.

(3) Ten mission is 0.0803.

(4) Fifty mission is 0.3419.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let <em>X</em> = number of catastrophes in the missions.

The probability of a catastrophe in a mission is, P (X) = p=\frac{1}{120}.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Binomial distribution with parameters <em>n</em> and <em>p</em>.

The probability mass function of <em>X </em>is:

P(X=x)={n\choose x}\frac{1}{120}^{x}(1-\frac{1}{120})^{n-x};\x=0,1,2,3...

In this case we need to compute the probability of 1 or more than 1 catastrophes in <em>n</em> missions.

Then the value of P (X ≥ 1) is:

P (X ≥ 1) = 1 - P (X < 1)

             = 1 - P (X = 0)

             =1-{n\choose 0}\frac{1}{120}^{0}(1-\frac{1}{120})^{n-0}\\=1-(1\times1\times(1-\frac{1}{120})^{n-0})\\=1-(1-\frac{1}{120})^{n-0}

(1)

Compute the compute the probability of 1 or more than 1 catastrophes in 2 missions as follows:

P(X\geq 1)=1-(1-\frac{1}{120})^{2-0}=1-0.9834=0.0166

(2)

Compute the compute the probability of 1 or more than 1 catastrophes in 5 missions as follows:

P(X\geq 1)=1-(1-\frac{1}{120})^{5-0}=1-0.9590=0.0410

(3)

Compute the compute the probability of 1 or more than 1 catastrophes in 10 missions as follows:

P(X\geq 1)=1-(1-\frac{1}{120})^{10-0}=1-0.9197=0.0803

(4)

Compute the compute the probability of 1 or more than 1 catastrophes in 50 missions as follows:

P(X\geq 1)=1-(1-\frac{1}{120})^{50-0}=1-0.6581=0.3419

Answer:

SA=5\ yd^2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The surface area of the square pyramid is equal to the area of the square base plus the area of its four triangular faces

so

SA=b^2+4[\frac{1}{2}(b)(h)]

we have

b=1\ yd\\h=2\ yd

substitute

SA=1^2+4[\frac{1}{2}(1)(2)]

SA=5\ yd^2

Find the area below
Katen [24]

Answer:

A = 760.27

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape presented is a semicircle, and the formula for this is:

A = \frac{3.14r^{2} }{2}

The "r," is the radius, which is half of the diameter, in this case is 44, so all you need to do is divide 44 by 2 = 22, then plug this in:

A = \frac{3.14(22)^{2} }{2}

A = \frac{3.14(484)}{2}

A = \frac{1520.53}{2}

A = 760.27
