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

Simplify The following equations
Y_Kistochka [10]
<span>mostly collect like terms
use associative property which is
(a+b)+c=a+(b+c)
also -a+b-c=(-a)+(b)+(-c) so you can move them around
and remember that:
you just use a general rule
x+x=2x
x^2+x^2=2x^2
3xy4xy=7xy
3x+4x^2=3x+4x^2
you can only add like terms( like terms are terms that are same name like x or y are differnt, and like terms have same power exg x^2 and x^3 and x^1/2 and such

I will oly put the naswers because I don't have much time

first one: 2a+3b+2c

second one: remember that -(-6c)=+6c so the answer is c-10a-2b

third one: -a-8b-5c
