Assuming the incident of fires for individual reactors can be described by a Poisson distribution, what is the probability that

Maksim231197 [3]

Complete Question

The Brown's Ferry incident of 1975 focused national attention on the ever-present danger of fires breaking out in nuclear power plants. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has estimated that with present technology there will be on average, one fire for every 10 years for a reactor. Suppose that a certain state has two reactors on line in 2020 and they behave independently of one another. Assuming the incident of fires for individual reactors can be described by a Poisson distribution, what is the probability that by 2030 at least two fires will have occurred at these reactors?

Answer:

The value is $P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 )= 0.5940$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The rate at which fire breaks out every 10 years is $\lambda = 1$

Generally the probability distribution function for Poisson distribution is mathematically represented as

$P(x) = \frac{\lambda^x}{ k! } * e^{-\lambda}$

Here x represent the number of state which is 2 i.e $x_1 \ \ and \ \ x_2$

Generally the probability that by 2030 at least two fires will have occurred at these reactors is mathematically represented as

$P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 ) = 1 - P(x_1 + x_2 \le 1 )$

=> $P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 ) = 1 - [P(x_1 + x_2 = 0 ) + P( x_1 + x_2 = 1 )]$

=> $P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 ) = 1 - [ P(x_1 = 0 , x_2 = 0 ) + P( x_1 = 0 , x_2 = 1 ) + P(x_1 , x_2 = 0)]$

=> $P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 ) = 1 - P(x_1 = 0)P(x_2 = 0 ) + P( x_1 = 0 ) P( x_2 = 1 )+ P(x_1 = 1 )P(x_2 = 0)$

=> $P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 ) = 1 - \{ [ \frac{1^0}{ 0! } * e^{-1}] * [[ \frac{1^0}{ 0! } * e^{-1}]] )+ ( [ \frac{1^1}{1! } * e^{-1}] * [[ \frac{1^1}{ 1! } * e^{-1}]] ) + ( [ \frac{1^1}{ 1! } * e^{-1}] * [[ \frac{1^0}{ 0! } * e^{-1}]]) \}$

=> $P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 )= 1- [[0.3678 * 0.3679] + [0.3678 * 0.3679] + [0.3678 * 0.3679] ]$

$P(x_1 + x_2 \ge 2 )= 0.5940$

205 1/5 is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

break down the 3-D figure

Find area of triangle A=1/2bh

=1/2(8 inch)(6 9/10inch)

=1/2(8 inch)(69/10 inch)

=138/5 square inch

then multiply two because you have 2 triangles

=138/5 (2)

= 276/5 square inch

= 55 1/5 sq.in

Find area of rectangle

A = lw

=6 1/4 in (8 in)

= 25/4 (8 in.)

= 50 sq. in.

then multiply by 3 because of the three rectangles

= 50 sq. inch (3)

= 150 sq. in.

Add all together

55 1/5 sq. inch + 150 sq. inch = 205 1/5 sq. inch

Bessie bought 10 gallons of Bush's Sweet Tea for a family reunion. How many liters did Bessie buy?

RUDIKE [14]

1 gallon = 3.78541 liters.

Multiply the number of gallons by 3.78541:

10 x 3.78541 = 37.8541 liters (round the answer as needed)
