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

Find the volume of the rectangular prism.<br> 19 cm<br> 9 cm<br> 2 cm
Makovka662 [10]

Answer: 342 cm³

Step-by-step explanation: To find the volume of the rectangular prism, start with the formula for the volume or a prism.

Volume = length × width × height

Since we are not sure what the length, width, or height is in this problem, we can plug any of these numbers in for the length, width, or height. The commutative property of multiplication states that changing the order of the factors does not change the product.

Volume = (19 cm) (9 cm) (2 cm)

Volume = 342 cm³

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 342 cm³.

Solve for x<br><br> Need help with this last question
Serhud [2]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

2(78°) = 20x - 4

156 = 20x - 4

add 4 to each side of the equation:

160 = 20x

divide both sides by 20:

x = 8
