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

In the diagram below, the perimeter of the triangle is equal to the perimeter of the square. What is the length of a side of the
kondaur [170]

The perimeter of each is the sum of the lengths of its sides.

Triangle Perimeter = 16 + 4x-3 +3x = 7x+13

Square Perimeter = 2x +2x +2x +2x = 8x

If these are equal, you have

7x+13=8x\\\\13=x\qquad \mbox{subtract 7x}\\\\26=2x\qquad \mbox{multiply by 2}

The length of a side of the square is 26 units.
