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

Here is some information about a play starts at 7:30pm first act last 46 minutes interval lasts 20 minutes second act last 53 mi
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

9:29 PM

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us add the number of minutes the first act, interval and second act lasted:

46 + 20 + 53 = 119 minutes

Converting this to hours and minutes:

60 minutes = 1 hour

119 minutes = 1 hour 59 minutes

Therefore, the time that the second act ends is:

  H       M

  7   :   30 PM

+ <u> 1    :  59</u>  

 <u> 9   :   29 </u>

<u />

The second act will end by 9:29 PM

I NEED YALL’S HELP <br> 2x+12=64<br> Step by step
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

2x + 12 = 64

x = 26 (mark brain if this helps and is correct)

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve equations with one missing variable we must use the order of operations of equality

step 1: use the subtraction property of equality meaning subtract each side of the equation

ex: 2x + 12 - 12 = 64 - 12   (2x = 52)

step 2: use the division property of equality meaning divide each side of the equation by 2

ex: 2x/2 = 52/2   (x = 26)

step 3: check your answer by putting 26 as x because that is our answer

2(26) + 12 = 64 (multiply 2 * 26)

52 + 12 = 64 (add 52 + 12)

64 = 64 (if both sides of the equation are the same number like 64 = 64 then your answer is true meaning that x is equal to 26)
