The source of the error when a computer system fails are either the disk drive, the computer memory, or the operating system. Ve

ry often, 50% of the errors are disk drive errors, 20% are computer memory errors, and the remainder are operating system errors. From the component performance standards, the probabilities of failure due to disk drive, computer memory, and operating system errors are 0.4, 0.6 and 0.25, respectively. Given the information from the component performance standards, what is the probability of an operating system error, given that a failure occurred

Answer:

The probability of an operating system error given that a failure has ocurred is P(O/E)= 0.19

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

There are three different sources of error when a computer system fails:

D: disk drive error. ⇒ P(D)= 0.50

M: computer memory error. ⇒P(M)= 0.20

O: operating systems error. ⇒ P(O)= 0.30

According to the component perdormance standard:

The probability of failure "E", given that there is a disk drive error is P(E/D)= 0.40

The probability of failure "E", given that there is a computer memory error is P(E/M)= 0.6

The probability of failure "E", given that there is a operating system error is P(E/O)= 0.25

You need to calculate the probability of an operating system error given that a failure has ocurred, symbolically:

P(O/E)

P(O/E)= \frac{P(OnE)}{P(E)}

To reach the probability of the marginal E you have to add all intersections between the event "E" and the events "D", "M" and "O"

       D           M             O       Total

E:  P(E∩D); P(E∩M); P(E∩O);  P(E)

Using the formula of the conditional probability I'll clear all three intersections using the known probabilities:

General formula: P(A/B)= \frac{P(AnB)}{P(B)} ⇒ P(AnB)= P(A/B)*P(B)

P(E∩D)= P(E/D)*P(D)= 0.4*0.5= 0.2

P(E∩M)= P(E/M)*P(M)= 0.6*0.2= 0.12

P(E∩O)= P(E/O)*P(O)= 0.25*0.3= 0.075

P(E)= P(E∩D) + P(E∩M) + P(E∩O)= 0.2+0.12+0.075= 0.395

P(O/E)= \frac{P(OnE)}{P(E)} = \frac{0.075}{0.395}= 0.189 = 0.19

I hope it helps!

Using The Almighty Formula (attached)

Note the symbol ^ is used to denote a raise to power

Where from the equation given x^2-5x-7

With a,b,c coefficients

a=1 b=-5 c=-7

From the Almighty Formula

√b^2-4ac=√(-5)^2-4(-7)=√53

Substituting in the Almighty Formula

-(-5) ±√53/2(1)= 5±√53/2

x=5+√53/2 and x=5-√53/2

What is the solution to the following equation? 3/8 x + 6(x + 3) = -5( 1/4 x - 1) + 6x x = -13 x = 13 x = 8 x = -8
Levart [38]

3 \div 8x + 6x + 3x =  - 5 \times 1  \div 4x -  - 5 \times 1 + 6xx =   - 13x = 13x = 8x =  - 8

Two ice skaters started on opposite ends of a 200-foot-long rink and then skated toward each
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

The proportion that can be used to find x is;

(200-x)/x = 7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, we want to find the proportion which can be used to find x.

From the question, we are told that the father skater traveled 7 ft for every 6 ft of the slower skater;

this means that the ratio of their speed is 7:6

Now, when they passed each other , the slower skater has traveled x ft, what this means is that the faster skater will have traveled a distance of (200-x) ft at that moment they passed each other.

Mathematically, since their time is equal i.e the time they used to pass each other, then, the ratio of their distances is same as the ratio of their speeds;

Hence;

(200-x)/x = 7/6 or x/(200-x) = 6/7
