A parallel system functions whenever at least one of its components works. Consider a parallel system of 5 components, and suppo

se that each component works independently with probability 0.4. Given that the system is functioning, what is the probability that component 4 works?

Answer:

Probability that component 4 works given that the system is functioning = 0.434 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a parallel system functions whenever at least one of its components works.

There are parallel system of 5 components and each component works independently with probability 0.4 .

Let <em>A = Probability of component 4 working properly, P(A) = 0.4 .</em>

<em>Also let S = Probability that system is functioning for whole 5 components, P(S)</em>

Now, the conditional probability that component 4 works given that the system is functioning is given by P(A/S) ;

P(A/S) =  {Means P(component 4 working and system also working)

divided by P(system is functioning)}

  P(A/S) =  {In numerator it is P(component 4 working) and in

                denominator it is P(system working) = 1 - P(system is not working)}

Since we know that P(system not working) means that none of the components is working in system and it is given with the probability of 0.6 and since there are total of 5 components so P(system working) = 1 - 0.6^{5} .

 Hence, P(A/S) = \frac{0.4}{1 - 0.6^{5} } = 0.434.

Please help me with Part A and B!
Illusion [34]

Answer:

A. When Katina has $280 in her bank account, 4 months have passed. Plug 4 months into Malorie's bank account equation:

a = 50(4) + 100

a = 200 + 100

a = $300

B. Malorie's bank account changes at a greater rate. Katina's bank account amount increases by $20 each month, whereas Malorie's bank account increases by $50.

Ex: month 5

Katina has 300, 20 more than the previous month.

Malorie has 350, 50 more than the previous month

Match each trig function to a ratio. tan(A)=
ehidna [41]

Answer:

\frac{y}{x}, the fourth option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tan means \frac{opposite}{adjacent} or opposite side divided by adjacent side.

Tan A equals the opposite side of the angle A divided by its adjacent side.

The side opposite of A is y and side adjacent to it is x.

So, Tan A equals \frac{y}{x}!
