The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) purchased a new solar-powered battery guaranteed to have a failure rate

of only 1 in 20. A new system to be used in a space vehicle operates on one of these batteries. To increase the reliability of the system, NASA installed three batteries, each designed to operate if the other batteries in the chain fail. If the system is operated in a practical situation, what is the probability that all three batteries would fail

Answer:

The probability that all three batteries would fail is given as:

= 0.000125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the probability of the new battery failing = 1/20 or 0.05,

Therefore, the probability that all three batteries would fail is given as:

= Probability of battery A failing * Probability of battery B failing * Probability of battery C failing

= P(A)*P(B)*P(C)

= 0.05 * 0.05 * 0.05

= 0.000125

Help me please pass math
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is a bit sloppy. In higher math courses it would not be permitted. I'll give you the general rule that applies to this question -- sort of.

If you have a triangle that hast angles of 100 50 and 30

The largest side will be opposite the 100 degree angle.

The smallest side will be opposite the 30 degree angle.

So for the question, you are intended to say that CD > AB because CD is opposite a 43 degree angle and AB is opposite a 40 degree angle.

So the answer is Since 43 > 40 then CD>AB

I don’t know how to solve this problem
miss Akunina [59]

The draws are independent, so

P(\text{red then blue})=P(\text{red})\cdot P(\text{blue})

There is a total of 11 marbles in the bag, so

P(\text{red})=\dfrac3{11}

and

P(\text{blue})=\dfrac5{11}

So

P(\text{red then blue})=\dfrac{15}{121}

lakkis [162]

Answer:

-52

Step-by-step explanation:

the absolute value is always positive and so 33 would remain 33, but -52 would change to 52 which is greater than 33.
