Assume that there is a 4% rate of disk drive failure in a year. a. If all your computer data is stored on a hard disk drive wit

kap26 [50]

Answer:

a) 99.84% probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive

b) 99.999744% probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive

Step-by-step explanation:

For each disk drive, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it works, or it does not. The disks are independent. 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.

4% rate of disk drive failure in a year.

This means that 96% work correctly, $p = 0.96$

a. If all your computer data is stored on a hard disk drive with a copy stored on a second hard disk drive, what is the probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive?

This is $P(X \ geq 1)$ when $n = 2$

We know that either none of the disks work, or at least one does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 1)$ . So

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

In which

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{2,0}.(0.96)^{0}.(0.04)^{2} = 0.0016$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0016 = 0.9984$

99.84% probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive

b. If copies of all your computer data are stored on four independent hard disk drives, what is the probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive?

This is $P(X \ geq 1)$ when $n = 4$

We know that either none of the disks work, or at least one does. The sum of the probabilities of these events is decimal 1. So

$P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 1)$ . So

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

In which

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

$P(X = 0) = C_{4,0}.(0.96)^{0}.(0.04)^{4} = 0.00000256$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.00000256 = 0.99999744$

99.999744% probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive

Work out the size of angle x <br> Next to 164 and 90

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

x=106 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to assume that this is a circle since you didn't give it to me

So you want to add 164 and 90 together and subtract the sum by 360

360-(164+90)=106

So you want to use PEMDAS (order of operations) to solve this

so do what's in the perenthesis first so 164+90=254
Then you want to subtract 254 from 360 so 360-254=106

x=106 degrees

A store is having a sale where customers can buy one shirt and get a second shirt for 30% off. Kate wants to buy two shirts pric

siniylev [52]

Answer:

$32.3

Step-by-step explanation:

First write 30% in the decimal form

30/100 = 0.3

than the equation written in the form

x = 19 + (19 - 0.3× 19)

x = 19 + ( 19 - 5.7)

x = 19 + 13.3

x =$ 32.3

So, Kate will pay $32.3

⦁ A total of 640 people voted in an election. The circle graph shows the results. ⦁ How many people voted for Goron? Show your w

Bezzdna [24]

Circle graphs or pie charts are used to represent data in percentages or proportions

192 voted for Goron
288 voted for Smith or Fishman

<h3>People that voted for Goron</h3>

The total number of votes is given as:

Total = 640

The circle chart is not given.

So, we make use of an assumed value

Assume 30% voted for Goron

The number of people would be:

Goron = 30% * 640

Evaluate

Goron = 192

Hence, 192 voted for Goron using the assumed value

<h3>People that voted for Smith or Fishman</h3>

Assume 45% voted for Smith or Fishman

The number of people would be:

Smith or Fishman = 45% * 640

Evaluate

Smith or Fishman = 288

Hence, 288 voted for Smith or Fishman using the assumed value
