well, keeping in mind that a year has 12 months, that means that 8 months is 8/12 of a year, when Mrs Rojas pull her money out.

well, she put in 6000 bucks, got back 160 extra, that's the interest earned in the 8 months.
what if she had left her money for 1 whole year, then
![~~~~~~ \textit{Simple Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P(1+rt)\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill & \$6000\\ r=rate\to 4\%\to \frac{4}{100}\dotfill &0.04\\ t=years\dotfill &1 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=6000[1+(0.04)(1)]\implies A=6240](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=~~~~~~%20%5Ctextit%7BSimple%20Interest%20Earned%20Amount%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%20A%3DP%281%2Brt%29%5Cqquad%20%5Cbegin%7Bcases%7D%20A%3D%5Ctextit%7Baccumulated%20amount%7D%5C%5C%20P%3D%5Ctextit%7Boriginal%20amount%20deposited%7D%5Cdotfill%20%26%20%5C%246000%5C%5C%20r%3Drate%5Cto%204%5C%25%5Cto%20%5Cfrac%7B4%7D%7B100%7D%5Cdotfill%20%260.04%5C%5C%20t%3Dyears%5Cdotfill%20%261%20%5Cend%7Bcases%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%20A%3D6000%5B1%2B%280.04%29%281%29%5D%5Cimplies%20A%3D6240)
so had she left it in for a year, she'd have gotten 6240, namely 240 in interest, well, what fraction of a year's interest was earned? or worded differently, what fraction is 160(8 months) of 240(1 year)?

Hey there! :D

The thousandths is where the 2 is.
If the number behind the 2 is 5 or greater, we round up to 3.
It is, so round up:
3,943,000 <== rounded number
I hope this helps!

Answer:
a) ![P[C]=p^n](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%5BC%5D%3Dp%5En)
b) ![P[M]=p^{8n}(9-8p^n)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%5BM%5D%3Dp%5E%7B8n%7D%289-8p%5En%29)
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](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%5BC%5D%3Dp%5En)
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)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%5BM%5D%3DP%5BC_9%5D%2BP%5BC_8%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3D%5Cbinom%7B9%7D%7B9%7DP%5BC%5D%5E9%281-P%5BC%5D%29%5E0%2B%5Cbinom%7B9%7D%7B8%7DP%5BC%5D%5E8%281-P%5BC%5D%29%5E1%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3DP%5BC%5D%5E9%2B9P%5BC%5D%5E8%281-P%5BC%5D%29%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3Dp%5E%7B9n%7D%2B9p%5E%7B8n%7D%281-p%5En%29%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3Dp%5E%7B8n%7D%28p%5E%7Bn%7D%2B9%281-p%5En%29%29%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3Dp%5E%7B8n%7D%289-8p%5En%29)
c)
![P[M]=(0.999)^{8n}(9-8(0.999)^n)=0.9](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%5BM%5D%3D%280.999%29%5E%7B8n%7D%289-8%280.999%29%5En%29%3D0.9)
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](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%5BM%5D%3DP%5BC_9%5D%2BP%5BC_8%5D%2BP%5BC_7%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3D%5Cbinom%7B9%7D%7B9%7DP%5BC%5D%5E9%281-P%5BC%5D%29%5E0%2B%5Cbinom%7B9%7D%7B8%7DP%5BC%5D%5E8%281-P%5BC%5D%29%5E1%2B%5Cbinom%7B9%7D%7B7%7DP%5BC%5D%5E7%281-P%5BC%5D%29%5E2%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3DP%5BC%5D%5E9%2B9P%5BC%5D%5E8%281-P%5BC%5D%29%2B36P%5BC%5D%5E7%281-P%5BC%5D%29%5E2%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3Dp%5E%7B9n%7D%2B9p%5E%7B8n%7D%281-p%5En%29%2B36p%5E%7B7n%7D%281-p%5En%29%5E2)
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.
It will take 40 hours for the water tank to become empty.
Explanation:
Divide 30 by 0.75 (equivalent to 3/4).
