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

a wooden block measures 2 inches by 2 inches by 3 inches. A wedge is cut off from each corner of the block by slicing at points
Alla [95]

Answer:

Total number of edges for resulting solid = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

A wooden block measures 2 inches by 2 inches by 3 inches. A wedge is cut off from each corner of the block by slicing at points that are 1 inch from each corner.

We have to find the number of edges in the resulting solid after we cut the edges as told above.

There are two faces along the height which will become sharpened after we take out the cuts.

So the resulting shape would be like that of a cylinder with its both ends pointed.

So total number of edges = 4 + 4 + 4 = 12

PLEASE HELP which of the following identities? Check all that apply
alisha [4.7K]
\sin(x - \pi) = \sin(x) \cos(\pi) - sin(\pi) \cos(x)
via the angle sum formula of sin
since \: cos(\pi) = - 1 \: and \: sin(\pi) = 0 \: then \\ sin(x - \pi) = - sin(x) \: which \: proves \: the \: first \: choice

\cos(x + y) + cos(x - y) = 2 \cos(x) \cos(y) =\:cos(x + y) + cos(x - y)=cos(x) cos(y)-sin(x)sin(y) +cos(x)cos(y)+sin(x)sin(y)=2cos(x)cos(y)
which proves the second choice
the third choice is wrong since for x=0,y=0 it will show that 2=1 which is incorrect
for the fourth one you can do some thing similar to choice one just expand the sum formula of sin and that should be true too
so
the first , the second and the fourth are all true
