Suppose electric power is supplied from two independent sources which work with probabilities 0.4, 0.5, respectively. if both so

urces are providing power enough power will be available with probability 1. if exactly one the them works there will be enough power with probability 0.6. of course, if none of them works the probability that there will be sufficient supply is 0.a) what are the probabilities that exactly k sources work for k=0,1,2?b)compute the probability that enough power will be available.

Answer:

The answers to the questions are as follows

a)  k = 0, P = 0.3

k = 1, P = 0.5

k = 0, P = 0.2

b) The probability that enough power will be available is 0.5.

Explanation:

To solve the question we write the parameters as follows

Probability that the first power source works = P(A) = 0.4

Probability that the second power source works = P(B) = 0.5

When both sources are supplying power  we have the probability = 1

If non of them is producing the probability = 0

a) The probability that exactly k sources work for k=0,1,2 is given by

For k = 0, probability = (1- P(A))× (1- P(B)) = 0.6 × 0.5 =0.3

Therefore the probabilities that exactly 0 source work  = 0.3

for k = 1 we have the probability = P(A)(1-P(B)) + P(B)(1-P(A)

= 0.4(1-0.5)+0.5(1-0.4) = 0.2 + 0.3 = 0.5

The probabilities that exactly 1 source work  = 0.5

for k = 2 we have the probability given by = P(A) × P(B) = 0.4 × 0.5 = 0.2

Therefore the  probability that exactly 2 sources work  = 0.2

b)  The probability that enough power will be available is

0 × P(k = 0) + 0.6 × P(k = 1) + 1 × P(k = 2)

0 × 0.2 + 0.6 × 0.5 + 1 × 0.2 = 0.5

The probability that enough power will be available is 0.5.

xxMikexx [17]
Fusion occurs in the Sun's core, releasing energy that is transferred outward. Once in the radiative zone, gamma rays are transferred by radiation. They are converted to other types of photons, which move into the convective zone, where they are transferred by convection. Finally, energy is emitted from the photosphere.

An 1800 kg helicopter rises with an upward acceleration of 2.0 m/s?. What lifting force is supplied by its rotating blades?
Viktor [21]

Answer:

Lifting force, F = 21240 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the helicopter, m = 1800 kg

It rises with an upward acceleration of 2 m/s². We need to find the lifting force  supplied by its rotating blades. It is given by :

F = mg + ma

Where

mg is its weight

and "ma" is an additional acceleration when it is moving upwards.

So, F=1800\ kg(9.8\ m/s^2+2\ m/s^2)

F = 21240 N

So, the lifting force supplied by its rotating blades is 21240 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

You are viewing a read out of an oscilloscope that shows you when different voltages in a circuit maximize. If the period of the
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The time is  t = 0.02 \ s  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The period of the circuit is  T  =  0.04

Generally voltage maximization of the capacitor occurs during the voltage minimization of the inductor and vise versa

So the time between the voltage maximization of the capacitor and that of the inductor is mathematically represented as

           t = \frac{T}{2}

=>        t = \frac{0.04}{2}

=>        t = 0.02 \ s
