A complex electronic system is built with a certain number of backup components in its subsystems. One subsystem has four identi

cal components, each with a probability of .2 of failing in less than 1000 hours. The subsystem will operate if any two of the four components are operating. Assume that the components operate independently. Find the probability that a exactly two of the four components last longer than 1000 hours. b the subsystem operates longer than 1000 hours.

Answer:

a. 0.1536

b. 0.9728

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a component fails, P(Y) = 0.2

The number of components in the system = 4

The number of components required for the subsystem to operate = 2

a. By binomial theorem, we have;

The probability that exactly 2 last longer than 1,000 hours, P(Y = 2) is given as follows;

P(Y = 2) = \dbinom{4}{2} × 0.2² × 0.8² = 0.1536

The probability that exactly 2 last longer than 1,000 hours, P(Y = 2) = 0.1536

b. The probability that the system last longer than 1,000 hours, P(O) = The probability that no component fails + The probability that only one component fails + The probability that two component fails leaving two working

Therefore, we have;

P(O) = P(Y = 0) + P(Y = 1) + P(Y = 2)

P(Y = 0) = \dbinom{4}{0} × 0.2⁰ × 0.8⁴ = 0.4096

P(Y = 1) = \dbinom{4}{1} × 0.2¹ × 0.8³ = 0.4096

P(Y = 2) = \dbinom{4}{2} × 0.2² × 0.8² = 0.1536

∴ P(O) = 0.4096 + 0.4096 + 0.1536 = 0.9728

The probability that the subsystem operates longer than 1,000 hours = 0.9728

12.<br>The container shown has a capacity of 60 milliliters.<br>What fraction of it is empty?<br>​
White raven [17]

This is an incomplete question, the image is shown below.

Answer : The fraction empty container is, \frac{7}{12}

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that:

The capacity of container = 60 mL

In the given figure, the container is filled with 25 mL.

That means,

60 - 25 = 35 mL container is empty.

Now we have to calculate the fraction of it is empty.

The fraction of it is empty = \frac{\text{Capacity of empty container}}{\text{Total capacity of container}}

The fraction of it is empty = \frac{35mL}{60mL}

The fraction of it is empty = \frac{7}{12}

Therefore, the fraction empty container is, \frac{7}{12}

What is the measure of angle X?<br><br> Enter your answer in the box.<br><br> M
slava [35]

Answer:

x = 47

Step-by-step explanation:

Every triangle's interior angles add up to 180°.

Let's make an equation.

x + 102 + 31 = 180

x + 133         = 180

x                   = 47

What is 73.24 rounded to the nearest tenth
Jobisdone [24]

The best way to remember which place is rounded to the nearest 10th, 100th, 1000th, etc., is by counting the number of 0's.

This question wants you to round to the nearest 10th.

How many 0's does 10 have? 1.

So we round one space after the decimal.

This gets us 73.2
