The power generation plant of a ship is outfitted with two identical diesel-generator sets. One single set running stand-alone c

an meet the full power requirement of the vessel. The engine of each set has a malfunction probability of 25% and the generator of 10%. In case one set breaks down there is a 50% probability of it being repaired but it will run again only if repaired and its subsystems do not further malfunction upon startup. Calculate the probability of an electric power outage shipboard.

Answer:

probability of an electric power outage shipboard is 0.075 or 7.5 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Probability of engine malfunction = 25% = 0.25

Probability of generator malfunction = 10% = 0.1  

Probability of generator being repaired = 50% = 0.5

probability of an electric power outage shipboard = ?

To get the probability of an electric power outage shipboard, we use the expression;

probability of an electric power outage = 2_c_1 × p( Probability of generator malfunction ) × p( Probability of generator being repaired ) × ( 1 - p( Probability of engine malfunction ) )

so we substitute in our given values;

probability of an electric power outage = 2 × 0.1 × 0.5 × ( 1 - 0.25 )

probability of an electric power outage = 2 × 0.1 × 0.5 × 0.75

probability of an electric power outage = 0.075 or 7.5 %

How do you convert 10/6 into a mixed number
Westkost [7]
Well, First you want to find out how many times six can go into ten. Since its only once, you immediately get the number 1 as your whole number. Now because you've taken six out of ten you're left with 4/6. The mixed number would be 1 and 4/6 or 1 and 2/3 if you're simplifying

2х - Зу= 2<br> х= бу - 5<br> X=<br> Y=
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

2x-3y=2

x=6y-5

2(6y-5)-3y=2

use the distributive property.

2*6y=12y

2*-5=-10

12y-10-3y=2

combine like terms

12y-3y=9y

9y-10=2

add 10 to both sides.

9y-10+10=9y

2+10=12

9y=12

divide both sides by 9

9y/9=y

y=about 1.33

plug in the value of y in the expression equal to the value of x.

x=6(1.33)-5

solve

6*1.33=7.98

x=7.98-5

7.98-5=2.98

Step-by-step explanation:

x=2.98

y=1.33

Rajan's Mark in percentage : (560/700) x 100 = 80%

To find anyone's marks in percentage, you can use :

(marks scored/full marks) x 100.
