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

Solve for the value of z:
Tanya [424]

Answer:

z = 70

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation: To solve this proportion for z, we can use cross products.

When we get the equation 5z = 350, we can get z by itself on the left side of the equation by dividing both sides of the equation by 5. On the left, the 5's cancel each other out and we have z. On the right, 350 divided by 5 simplifies to 70 so we have z = 70.

4x - 7 = 8<br> What is the value of x? Show your working.
erica [24]

Answer:

<h2><u><em>x =</em></u><u><em> </em></u><u><em>3.75</em></u></h2><h2><u><em>or</em></u></h2><h2><u><em>x = 3 3/4</em></u></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - 7 = 8

What is the value of x? Show your working.

4x - 7 = 8

4x = 8 + 7

4x = 15

x = 15 : 4

x = 3.75

or

x = 3 3/4

--------------------

check

4 * 3.75 - 7 = 8

15 - 7 = 8

8 = 8

the answer is good
