Two pumps connected in parallel fail indepen- dently of each other on any given day. The proba- bility that only the older pump

will fail is .10, and the probability that only the newer pump will fail is .05. What is the probability that the pumping system will fail on any given day (which happens if both pumps fail)?

Answer: 0.145

Step-by-step explanation:

Since,

the Probability of the older pump failing P(fail older) = 0.10

The probability of the newer pump failing P(fail newer) = 0.05

Therefore,

The Probability of the older pump not failing P(not fail older) = 1 - 0.1

P(not fail older) = 0.9

Also,

The probability of the newer pump not failing P(not fail newer) = 1 - 0.05 = 0.95

The probability of the pumping system failing = P(not fail older)* P(not fail newer) = 0.9*0.95

P(not fail system)= 0.855

Therefore,

The probability that the pumping system will fail = 1 - P(not fail system) = 1 - 0.855 = 0.145

The probability that the pumping system will fail one day is 0.145

(1/2)^2 = 1/4
2-2/3 = 6/3 - 2/3 = 4/3

OK so:
(1/2)^2 - 6(2-2/3) = 1/4 - 6(4/3)
= 1/4 - 8
= 1/4 - 32/4
= -31/4

20.) Marc had to walk to the grocery store which was exactly 50 meters from his house. So far he has walked exactly 21 meters. W
Sloan [31]

Marc has walked 42 % of the journey

<h3>How to calculate the percentage ? </h3>

The total miles is 50 meters

Marc has walked for 21 meters

The percentage he has walked can be calculated as follows

= 21/50 × 100

= 0.42 × 100

= 42

Hence the percentage of mile Marc walked is 42%

What percent of 20 is 6
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:  30 percent of 20 is 6.

_______________________________________________

Step-by-step explanation:

_______________________________________________

(n/100)  * 20 = 6  ?  

Solve for "n"  .

_______________________________________________

Divide each side of the equation by "20" :

{ (n/100) * 20 }  / 20  = 6 / 20 ;

to get:

n/100  = 6/20 ;  

↔ 6/20 = n/100 ; solve for "n" ;

Look at the denominators:


20 * ? = 100 ?

  100/ 20 = ?  ;

  100/20 = 5 ;


So, 20 *  " 5" = 100 ;

Then 6* 5 = "n"  (for the numerator, "n";  in  :   "n /100" ) ;

                  →  6 * 5 = 30 ;

                  →  n = 30 .

_______________________________________________

 Answer:  30 percent of 20 is 6.
