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

If a cone is 5 meters tall and has a radius of 3 meters, What is its volume? 15π m3 60π m3 45π m3 30π m3
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

V = 15 pi m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cone is

V = 1/3 pi r^2 h

The radius is 3 and the height is 5

V = 1/3 pi ( 3)^2 *5

V = 15 pi m^3
