The automatic opening device of a military cargo parachute has been designed to open when the parachute is 135 m above the groun

d. Suppose opening altitude actually has a normal distribution with mean value 135 and standard deviation 35 m. Equipment damage will occur if the parachute opens at an altitude of less than 100 m. What is the probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes? (Give your answer to four decimal places.)

Answer:

the probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes is 0.4215

Step-by-step explanation:

Let consider Q to be the opening altitude.

The mean μ = 135 m

The standard deviation = 35 m

The probability that the equipment damage will occur if the parachute opens at an altitude of less than 100 m can be computed as follows:

P(Q

P(Q

P(Q

P(Q

If we represent R to be the number of parachutes which have equipment damage to the payload out of 5 parachutes dropped.

The probability of success = 0.1587

the number of independent parachute n = 5

the probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes can be computed as:

P(R ≥ 1) = 1 - P(R < 1)

P(R ≥ 1) = 1 - P(R = 0)

The probability mass function of the binomial expression is:

P(R ≥ 1) = 1 - (^5_0)(0.1587)^0(1-0.1587)^{5-0}

P(R ≥ 1) =1 - (\dfrac{5!}{(5-0)!})(0.1587)^0(1-0.1587)^{5-0}

P(R ≥ 1) = 1 - 0.5785

P(R ≥ 1) = 0.4215

Hence, the probability that there is equipment damage to the payload of at least one of five independently dropped parachutes is 0.4215

Which is a valid prediction about the continuous function f(x)?
Bumek [7]
Without seeing the graph, it's impossible to tell. The same can be said if we don't know the function rule. However, we can rule out three non-answers. 

Choice B is false because the interval [1,3] has f(x) below zero but the rest of the interval to the right of x = 3 has f(x) not below zero.

Choice C is false. The value x = -1 leads to f(x) = 0 which is not greater than 0

Choice D is false because the values 8 and 4 are positive

After eliminating B, C, & D, we are left with choice A as the answer.
