A sum of money is divided among Khairul, Michael and Ethan in the ratio

Mathematics
1 answer:
Leto [7]1 year ago
3 0

Answer:

$360

Step-by-step explanation:

The intial ratio of the sum shared between Khairul, Michael and Ethan is 6 : 4 : 5.

This would be 6x : 4x : 5x

Khairul gives $30 to Michael and $15.

The ratio is. Now;

(6x - 45) : (4x + 30) : (5x + 15)

We are told this is equal to the ratio 7:6:7

Thus;

((6x - 45) + (4x + 30))/(5x + 15) = (7 + 6)/7

(10x - 15)/(5x + 15) = 13/7

Factorize the left hand side;

5(2x - 3)/5(x + 3) = 13/7

5 will cancel out to get;

(2x - 3)/(x + 3) = 13/7

Cross multiply to get;

7(2x - 3) = 13(x + 3)

14x - 21 = 13x + 39

14x - 13x = 39 + 21

x = 60

Amount Khairul had initially was denoted as 6x.

Thus,6x = 5 × 60 = $360

It is generally recognized as wise to back up computer data. Assume that there is a 11​% rate of disk drive failure in a year. a
lukranit [14]

Answer:

a.0.11

b. 0.0121

c. 0.001331

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

- The probability of 1 disk fails per year = 0.11

Find:

a. If all of a​ computer's data are stored on a single hard disk​ drive, what is the probability that the drive will fail during a​ year?

Solution:

- The probability given is given to be 0.11 for a disk to fail. If there is one hard disk then the failure of data is equivalent.

Hence,             P ( disc fails/year) = 0.11

b. If all of a​ computer's data are stored on a hard disk drive with a copy stored in a second hard disk​ drive, what is the probability that both drives will fail during a​ year?

Solution:

- The given probability of one disk failing in a year does not affect the probability of another disc failing. Hence, the two events are independent.

- Hence. the probability of independent events can be calculated as:

    P ( 1st disc & 2nd disc fails / year) = P(disc fail/year)*P(disc fail/year)

    P ( 1st disc & 2nd disc fails / year) = 0.11*0.11 = 0.0121

c. If all of a​ computer's data is stored on three independent hard disk​ drives, what is the probability that all three will fail during a​ year?

-  The given probability of one disk failing in a year does not affect the probability of another disc failing. Hence, the three events are independent.

- Hence. the probability of independent events can be calculated as:

    P ( 1st, 2nd & 3rd disc fails / year) = P(disc fail/year)^3

    P ( 1st disc & 2nd disc fails / year) = 0.11^3 = 0.001331
