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

Quadrilateral ABCD has the following vertices:
GenaCL600 [577]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure can be shown to be a parallelogram by showing the sum of endpoints of the diagonals is the same.

  A +C = B +D

  (0, 6) +(0, -4) = (0, 2) = (3, 5) +(-3, -3) . . . . diagonals bisect each other

If the diagonals of a quadrilateral bisect each other, it is a parallelogram. A parallelogram with a right angle is a rectangle. So, ABCD is a rectangle.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The midpoint of each diagonal is half the sum of the end point coordinates. That is, the midpoints are (0, 2)/2 = (0, 1). Since calculation of the midpoints requires both sums be divided by 2, we can tell the midpoints are the same if the sums are the same.
