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.

A spring scale exerts a net force of 8.5 N on an object. What is the object's mass if it has an acceleration of
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

mass of the object is 2.18 kg

Explanation:

Given

Force (F) = 8.5 N = 8.5 kg.m/s^{2}

acceleration (a) = 3.9 m/s^{2}

Mass (m) = ?

We know that the newton's second law of motion gives the relation between mass of ab object. force acted upon and the amount the object is accelerated. It is expressed in the form of an equation:

F = ma

mass, m = F/a

               = \frac{8.5 kgms^{-2} }{3.9 ms^{-2} }

               = 2.18 kg

An element’s atomic number is 35. how many portions would an atom this element have
kotykmax [81]

35 protons are present in an element whose atomic number is 35.

<u>Explanation: </u>

In an atom of an element, the number of protons = atomic number

Number of protons = number of electrons

Mass Number = number of protons + number of neutrons

Hence, an atom with atomic number 35 will have 35 protons.
