Answer:

3.90% probability that the third failure will occur on the tenth component tested

Step-by-step explanation:

For each component, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it fails, or it does not fail. Components perform independently. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Assume that a component passes a test is 0.85

So they fail with probability of p = 1 - 0.85 = 0.15

What is the probability that the third failure will occur on the tenth component tested

First 9 components: Two failures, that is, P(X = 2) when n = 9.

10th component: Failure with probability 0.15.

So

P = 0.15P(X = 2)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{9,2}.(0.15)^{2}.(0.85)^{7} = 0.2597

So

P = 0.15P(X = 2) = 0.15*0.2597 = 0.0390

3.90% probability that the third failure will occur on the tenth component tested

0.7 Liters and 0.70 Liters are the same amount.

You can think of them as fractions:  7/10 and 70/100.  Both of these mean the same.  7/10 is the simplest form of the number.

When you put zeros to the right of any number that is to the right of the decimal point, it will not change the value of the number.

(Geometry) PART A Find the value of X.
guapka [62]

Answer:

Part A: The answer is B.

As vertically opposite angles are equal

x+10=4x-35

10=3x-35

45=3x

x=15

Part B: The answer is D.

We'll substitute in the value of X in one equation.

x+10

=15+10

=25

As the two angles are equal bot must be 25 degrees.
