Answer:

a) 0.0004

b) 0.9604

c) 0.02

Step-by-step explanation:

When trying to find the probability of a sequence occurring you would simply need to multiply the probability of both of those things occurring together. Since the probability of an alternator failing is 0.02 then the probability of both failing would be...

0.02 * 0.02 = 0.0004

Now the probability of an alternator not failing is 0.98 (100% or 1 minus 0.02) therefore, the probability of both failing would be...

0.98 * 0.98 = 0.9604

Finally, the probability of one or the other failing would simply be the same as the probability of a single alternator failing which is 0.02

Answer:

85

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^3 + 3y^2 − 17

2(3)^3 + 3(4)^2 − 17

2*27 + 3*16 -17

A certain radioactive material decays in such a way that the mass in kilograms remaining after t years is given by the function
Angelina_Jolie [31]

The mass of radioactive material remaining after 50 years would be 48.79 kilograms

<h3>How to determine the amount</h3>

It is important to note that half - life is the time it takes for the amount of a substance to reduce by half its original size.

Given the radioactive decay formula as

m(t)=120e−0.018t

Where

t= 50 years

m(t) is the remaining amount

Substitute the value of t

m(t) = 120e^-^0^.^0^1^8^(^5^0^)

m(t) = 120e^-^0^.^9

Find the exponential value

m(t) = 48.788399

m(t) = 48.79 kilograms to 2 decimal places

Thus, the mass of radioactive material remaining after 50 years would be 48.79 kilograms
