Basically, when dealing with measurement problems such as these you ALWAYS need to have a key, or keys. The key(s) in this situation would be: 1 inch equals 12 feet, and 12 inches equals 1 foot. Now what you need to do is solve. So, width of the building's lot is 114 feet. You want to divide that by twelve because, remember one of the key(s) is 1 inch=12 feet. So the twelve you are dividing by is the 1 inch= 12 feet equation. Now when you divide 114÷12, you get the answer of 9.5, AKA 9 1/2. And now to check the answer, multiply 9.5 with 12, and that would give you 114. I hope this helps!

A parallel system functions whenever at least one of its components works. Consider a parallel system of 5 components, and suppo

Aneli [31]

Answer:

Probability that component 4 works given that the system is functioning = 0.434 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a parallel system functions whenever at least one of its components works.

There are parallel system of 5 components and each component works independently with probability 0.4 .

Let A = Probability of component 4 working properly, P(A) = 0.4 .

Also let S = Probability that system is functioning for whole 5 components, P(S)

Now, the conditional probability that component 4 works given that the system is functioning is given by P(A/S) ;

P(A/S) = {Means P(component 4 working and system also working)

divided by P(system is functioning)}

P(A/S) = {In numerator it is P(component 4 working) and in

denominator it is P(system working) = 1 - P(system is not working)}

Since we know that P(system not working) means that none of the components is working in system and it is given with the probability of 0.6 and since there are total of 5 components so P(system working) = 1 - $0.6^{5}$ .
