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.

Three people are running for president of a class. The results of a poll indicate that the first candidate has an estimated 37%
lianna [129]

Answer:

0.19

Step-by-step explanation:

The are three candidate running for president and we know that probability of winning for first candidate and the probability of winning for second candidate and we have to find the probability of winning for third candidate

P(C1)=0.37

P(C2)=0.44

P(C3)=?

We know that sum of probabilities is always 1. So,

P(C1)+P(C2)+P(C3)=1

0.37+0.44+P(C3)=1

P(C3)=1-0.37-0.44

P(C3)=0.19

Thus, the probability of winning for third candidate is 0.19.

Mai gave half of her brownies, and then half a brownie more, to Kiran. Then she gave half of what was left,
givi [52]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

all we know is that she had 1 brownie at the end, in the end she gave half her brownie to tyler, so add one who will get 1 1/2, before that she split her brownies between her friends, so multiply 1 1/2 by 2 and you will get 3, before that she gave 1/2 a brownie to Kiran, so we would add 1/2 to 3 and get 3 1/2, before that she first split it in half for a her friends, so at last,  multiply 3 1/2 by 2 and you will geet 7 as your final answer.
