Answer:

0.9936 = 99.36% probability that during a​ year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working​ drive

Step-by-step explanation:

For each disk, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it works, or it does not. The probability of a disk working is independent of any other disk, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Assume that there is a 8​% rate of disk drive failure in a year.

So 100 - 8 = 92% probability of working, which means that p = 0.92

Two disks are used:

This means that n = 2

What is the probability that during a​ year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working​ drive?

This is:

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{2,0}.(0.92)^{0}.(0.08)^{2} = 0.0064

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0064 = 0.9936

0.9936 = 99.36% probability that during a​ year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working​ drive

  • Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>

y + 5x = 1

5y - x = 5

<u>Step 2: Rewrite Systems</u>

y + 5x = 1

  1. Subtract 5x on both sides:                    y = 1 - 5x

<u>Step 3: Redefine Systems</u>

y = 1 - 5x

5y - x = 5

<u>Step 4: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

<em>Substitution</em>

  1. Substitution in <em>y</em>:                      5(1 - 5x) - x = 5
  2. Distribute 5:                             5 - 25x - x = 5
  3. Combine like terms:                5 - 26x = 5
  4. Isolate <em>x</em> term:                          -26x = 0
  5. Isolate <em>x</em>:                                   x = 0

<u>Step 5: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>

  1. Define equation:                    5y - x = 5
  2. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                       5y - 0 = 5
  3. Subtract:                                 5y = 5
  4. Isolate <em>y</em>:                                 y = 1

There were 35,000 hardback copies of a certain novel sold before the paperback version was issued. From the time the first paper
bija089 [108]

Answer:

3,717,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation of paperback copies is shown below:-

Let us assume hardback copies is x, so paperback copies will be 9x

now the equation is

35,000 + x + 9x = 448,000

10x = 448,000 - 35,000

10x = 413,000

= \frac{413,000}{10}

= 41,300

Therefore, the paperback copies are

=  9\times 41,300

= 3,717,000

Hence, the paperback copies is 3,717,000
