If it's just distribution, not solving for s (I mean I could but do you need to?):
5(2s² - 3s + 4) Distribute/multiply 5 into (2s² - 3s + 4)
(5)2s² - (5)3s + (5)4
10s² - 15s + 20
Answer:
0.756
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that a machine has four components, A, B, C, and D.

If these components set up in such a manner that all four parts must work for the machine to work properly.
We need to find the probability that the machine works properly. It means we have to find the value of
.
If two events X and Y are independent, then

Assume the probability of one part working does not depend on the functionality of any of the other parts.

Substitute the given values.



Therefore, the probability that the machine works properly is 0.756.
1. 7 hours and 40 min
2. 1 hour and 24 min
3. 4 hours and 45 min
4. 8 hours and 48 min
