Many electronics follow a failure rate described by an exponential probability density function (PDF). Solar panels are advertis

ed to last 20 years or longer, but panels made in China are failing at a higher rate. The time-to-failure of this device is usually exponentially distributed with mean 13 years. What is the probability of failure in the first 5 years

Answer:

The right answer is "0.3193".

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

Mean,

\frac{1}{\lambda}  = 13

\lambda = \frac{1}{13}

As we know,

The cumulative distributive function will be:

⇒ 1-e^{-\lambda x}

hence,

In the first 5 years, the probability of failure will be:

⇒ P(X

                    =1-e^{-(\frac{1}{13} )\times 5}

                    =1-e^(-\frac{5}{13})

                    =1-0.6807

                    =0.3193

Answer:

The number of times organism B's population is larger than organism A's population after 8 days is 32 times

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of organism A doubles every day, geometrically as follows

a, a·r, a·r²

Where;

r = 2

The population after 5 days, is therefore;

Pₐ₅ = = 32·a

The virus cuts the population in half for three days as follows;

The first of ta·2⁵ he three days = 32/2 = 16·a

The second of the three days = 16/2 = 8·a

After the third day, Pₐ = 8/2 = 8·a

The population growth of organism B is the same as the initial growth of organism A, therefore, the population, P₈ of organism B after 8 days is given as follows;

P₈ =  a·2⁸ = 256·a

Therefore, the number of times organism B's population is larger than organism A's population after 8 days is P₈/Pₐ = 256·a/8·a = 32 times

Which gives, the number of times organism B's population is larger than organism A's population after 8 days is 32 times.

Hope this helps you out! :)

Also, it's OK! This was actually pretty hard to figure out!

A triangle has sides of LaTeX: 1\frac{1}{6}1 1 6 inches, LaTeX: 1\frac{1}{3}1 1 3 inches, and LaTeX: 1\frac{2}{3}1 2 3 inches. W
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

4 1/6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle has sides of LaTeX: 1\frac{1}{6}1 1 6 inches, LaTeX: 1\frac{1}{3}1 1 3 inches, and LaTeX: 1\frac{2}{3}1 2 3 inches. What is the perimeter of the triangle? Make sure your answer is in simplest form.

Perimeter of Triangle = Side a + Side b + Side c

Perimeter of the Triangle =

( 1 1/6 + 1 1/3 + 1 2/3) inches

Lowest common denominator = 6

= 1 + 1 + 1 +(1/6 + 1/3 + 2/3)

= 3 + (1 + 2 + 4/6)

= 3 + 7/6

= 3 + 1 1/6

= 4 1/6 inches
