Consider the following portion of an electric circuit with three relays. Current will flow from point a to point b if there is a

t least one closed path when the relays are activated. The relays may malfunction and not close when activated. Suppose that the relays act independently of one another and close properly when activated, with a probability of .9. Given that current flowed when the relays were activated, what is the probability that relay 1 functioned?

Answer:

0.9009

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the event that Current will flow

Let Y be the event that the first relay which is 1 is closed

Thus, we can say that every element of Y is in X, but X possesses more elements. Thus, Y ⊂ X.

Thus, we can say that;

P(X ∩ Y) = P(Y)

Thus, given that current flowed, the probability that relay 1 functioned will be expressed as;

P(Y | X) = (P(Y ∩ X))/P(X)

From earlier, we saw that P(X ∩ Y) = P(Y). Thus;

P(Y | X) = P(Y)/P(X)

From the question, P(Y) = 0.9

Since there are 3 relays, then we have;

P(X) = 1 - 0.1³ = 0.999

Thus;

P(Y | X) = 0.9/0.999

P(Y | X) = 0.9009

Answer:

recursive: f(0) = 7; f(n) = f(n-1) -8

explicit: f(n) = 7 -8n

Step-by-step explanation:

The sequence is an arithmetic sequence with first term 7 and common difference -8. Since you're numbering the terms starting with n=0, the generic case will be ...

recursive: f(0) = first term; f(n) = f(n-1) + common difference

explicit: f(n) = first term + n·(common difference)

To get the answer above, fill in the first term and common difference values.

Sara is 5 ft 10inches y’all ? To the nearest centimeter how tall is sara? If 1 in equals 2.54 centimeters
Dahasolnce [82]

1 foot = 12 inches.

5 ft x 12 inches per foot = 60 inches.

60 inches + 10 inches = 70 inches.

Sara was 70 inches tall.

Now convert to centimeters:

70 inches x 2.54 centimeters per inch = 177.8 cm's.

Round to nearest centimeter = 178 cm's.

What expression has the same value of 22+(-32)
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

-10

Step-by-step explanation:

as the -32 is in bracket so we must look at it first. then the (-) is multiplied with the + outside bracket which is +×(-)=- . so it will be plus i.e. 22-32 and final step subtract it. the answer is -10.
