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

Yoo i need help !!! its math and i havent learned it yet
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

{f}^{ - 1} (x) = 9x + 18

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) =  \frac{1}{9}x - 2

y = \frac{1}{9} x - 2

x =  \frac{1}{9}y - 2

x + 2 =  \frac{1}{9}y

9x + 18 = y

{f}^{ - 1} (x) = 9x + 18

A football team gained 9 yards on one play and then lost 22 yards on the next.Write a sum of integers to find theoverral change
anastassius [24]

Answer:

-13 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimating that we start off on the middle line, we could solve this by simply looking at a number line. Moving 9 yards ahead would put us at 9. But moving  back 22 would place us at a negative number. An easy way of doing this is subtracting 9 from 22:

22 - 9 = 13

But, we already know that since the answer is to the left of zero, it will be a negative number. So we flip the sign to get -13 yards.
