How to solve 3/4 = 8/x-1

One store has carrots on sale for $1.1 for 3 pounds, while another store has carrots on sale for $0.78 for two pounds. Which sto

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

1) The store selling for 1.1 per 3 lbs

2) $6.24

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

1.1/3 = 0.37

0.78/2 = 0.39

0.37 is cheaper so it's a better deal

2)

$\frac{0.78}{3} =\frac{x}{24} \\\\3x=18.72\\x=6.24$

A student said thst the distance between (-5,7) and (3,7) is 2 units<br>is the student correct?

Usimov [2.4K]

No.

The distance is |-5 -3| = 8 units. (Y-coordinates are the same, so the distance is measured entirely in the x-direction. Distance is non-negative.)

Memory module consists of 9 chips. The device is designed with redundancy so that it works even if one of its chips is defective

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

a) $P[C]=p^n$

b) $P[M]=p^{8n}(9-8p^n)$

c) n=62

d) n=138

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: "Each chip contains n transistors"

a) A chip needs all n transistor working to function correctly. If p is the probability that a transistor is working ok, then:

$P[C]=p^n$

b) The memory module works with when even one of the chips is defective. It means it works either if 8 chips or 9 chips are ok. The probability of the chips failing is independent of each other.

We can calculate this as a binomial distribution problem, with n=9 and k≥8:

$P[M]=P[C_9]+P[C_8]\\\\P[M]=\binom{9}{9}P[C]^9(1-P[C])^0+\binom{9}{8}P[C]^8(1-P[C])^1\\\\P[M]=P[C]^9+9P[C]^8(1-P[C])\\\\P[M]=p^{9n}+9p^{8n}(1-p^n)\\\\P[M]=p^{8n}(p^{n}+9(1-p^n))\\\\P[M]=p^{8n}(9-8p^n)$

c)

$P[M]=(0.999)^{8n}(9-8(0.999)^n)=0.9$

This equation was solved graphically and the result is that the maximum number of chips to have a reliability of the memory module equal or bigger than 0.9 is 62 transistors per chip. See picture attached.

d) If the memoty module tolerates 2 defective chips:

$P[M]=P[C_9]+P[C_8]+P[C_7]\\\\P[M]=\binom{9}{9}P[C]^9(1-P[C])^0+\binom{9}{8}P[C]^8(1-P[C])^1+\binom{9}{7}P[C]^7(1-P[C])^2\\\\P[M]=P[C]^9+9P[C]^8(1-P[C])+36P[C]^7(1-P[C])^2\\\\P[M]=p^{9n}+9p^{8n}(1-p^n)+36p^{7n}(1-p^n)^2$

We again calculate numerically and graphically and determine that the maximum number of transistor per chip in this conditions is n=138. See graph attached.
