Answer:

P(at least one valve opens) = 0.67232.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a boiler has five identical relief valves. The probability that any particular valve will open on demand is 0.92. Assume independent operation of the valves.

The above situation can be represented through Binomial distribution;

P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r}p^{r} (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,.....

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 5 identical relief valves

            r = number of success = at least one valve opens

           p = probability of success which in our question is probability that

                 any particular valve will open on demand, i.e; 0.92

<em>LET X = Number of valve opens on demand</em>

So, it means X ~ Binom(n=5, p=0.92)

Now, Probability that at least one valve opens is given by = P(X \geq 1)

   P(X \geq 1) = 1 - Probability that no valve opens

                 = 1 - P(X = 0)

                 = 1 - \binom{5}{0}0.92^{0} (1-0.92)^{5-0}

                 = 1-(1 \times 1 \times 0.08^{5})

                 = 1 - 0.32768 = 0.67232

Therefore, Probability that at least one valve opens is 0.67232.

Hi there! :)

Find the central angle using a ratio in regards to angle and circumference.

The radius is 27 units, so use the following equation to calculate circumference:

C = 2rπ

Therefore:

C = 2(27)π = 54π

Since we have the total circumference, we can write the following proportion:

\frac{x}{360} = \frac{18\pi}{54\pi}

Cross multiply:

54πx = 6480π

Divide both sides by 54π to isolate for x:

x = 120°

Use the figure below to find the value of x and PQ.
Scilla [17]

Answer:

x=14

PQ=46

Step-by-step explanation:

PT and TQ are equal, so we can set up the equation like this: PT=TQ

23=2x-5

calculate to find x

x=14

PQ is just PT+TQ so 23+23=46
