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

Which of the following points lies in the solution set of the inequality y > 3x +10?
shepuryov [24]

Since 3 is greater than -3, hence (-1, 3) lie in the solution set. Option C is correct

In order to determine the points that lie in the solution set of the inequality y > 3x +10, we will substitute the x-coordinate and see if <u>y is greater than the result.</u>

<u />

For the coordinate point (1, 10)

y > 3(1) +10

y > 13

Since 10 is not greater than 13, hence (1,10) does not lie in the solution set.

For the coordinate point (4, 20)

y > 3(4) +10

y > 22

Since 20 is not greater than 22, hence (4,20) does not lie in the solution set.

For the coordinate point (-1, 3)

y > 3(-1) +10

y > -7

Since 3 is greater than -3, hence (-1, 3) lie in the solution set.

Answer for 1:

I don't know the actual answer, but for Forms, you can press ctrl + U and find the answers in the code

Answer for 2:

x = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the overall angle is 90°, and we already have 33, we subtract 33 from 90

90 - 33 = 57

So we have to fill in the other 57°

2(28) = 56

56 + 1 = 57

So the answer is x = 28
