Answer:
There is a 99.99998% probability that at least one valve opens.
Step-by-step explanation:
For each valve there are only two possible outcomes. Either it opens on demand, or it does not. This means that we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.
Binomial probability distribution
The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.
In which is the number of different combinatios of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
And p is the probability of X happening.
In this problem we have that:
Calculate P(at least one valve opens).
This is
Either no valves open, or at least one does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So:
So
Finally
There is a 99.99998% probability that at least one valve opens.
Graph this compound inequality 2.5 is equal to or less than x is equal to or less than 4.5
2.5 <= x < = 4.5
We graph this inequality using number line.
Here x lies between 2.5 and 4.5
While graphing, we start with closed circle at 2.5 because we have equal symbol .
Then shade till 4.5. Use closed circle at 4.5.
The graph is attached below.
