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.

Answer:

6= 15 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

8 + 6=14

1/2=5/10

3/5=6/10

6/10+5/10=11/10=1 1/2

14+1 1/2= 15 1/2

At the Butler Ski Resort, it snowed 1/2 of a foot yesterday and 1/5 of a foot today. How much more did it snow yesterday than to
barxatty [35]

It snowed \frac{3}{10} foot more yesterday than today

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, At the Butler Ski Resort, it snowed 1/2 of a foot yesterday and 1/5 of a foot today

From given information,

\text{Snowed yesterday } = \frac{1}{2} \text{ foot }\\\\\text{Snowed today } = \frac{1}{5} \text{ foot }

<em><u>To find: how much more did it snow yesterday than today</u></em>

So we have to find the difference between snowed yesterday and today

\text{Difference} = \text{Snowed yesterday } - \text{ snowed today }\\\\\text{Difference} = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{5}\\\\\text{Difference} = \frac{1 \times 5}{2 \times 5}-\frac{1 \times 2}{5 \times 2}\\\\\text{Difference} = \frac{5}{10}-\frac{2}{10}\\\\\text{Difference} =\frac{3}{10}

Hence it snowed \frac{3}{10} foot more yesterday than today
