Answer:

The standard deviation of the number of runs required is 2447.26

Step-by-step explanation:

For each run, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the program fails, or it does not. The probability of the computer failing during a run is independent of other runs. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The standard deviation for the expected number of trials for r sucesses is:

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{\frac{r(1-p)}{p^{2}}}

A computer program has a bug that causes it to fail once in every thousand runs, on average.

This means that p = \frac{1}{1000} = 0.001

In an effort to find the bug, independent runs of the program will be made until the program has failed six times. What is the standard deviation of the number of runs required?

This means that r = 6. So

\sqrt{V(X)} = \sqrt{\frac{6*0.999}{(0.001)^{2}}} = 2447.26

The standard deviation of the number of runs required is 2447.26

What is the rate of 70 miles in 2 hours in unit rate
tamaranim1 [39]
You want one of the values in the ratio to be one for a unit rate. First, write out the ratio. It is 70 miles/2 hours. It's better not to include decimal numbers when you write a ratio when you can, so we're going to make the hours the unit rate. To make 2 -> 1 hour, divide both sides of the ratio by 2. 70/2 = 35. 
The unit rate is 35 mi./hr.
Hope that helped you.

Leni [432]
<h3>Answer: 985</h3>

=============================================

Work Shown:

A = amount after t hours

P = initial amount = 100

r = growth rate in decimal form = 0.10

t = number of hours = 24

--------

A = P*(1+r)^t

A = 100(1+0.10)^24

A = 100*(1.10)^24

A = 100*9.84973267580762

A = 984.973267580762

A = 985
