if A and B together can do a piece of work in 10 days and B along can do it in 15 days, how many part of the work does A complet

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Well work can be defined as: $work = rate \ *\ time$

where rate=amount of work that can be done in one unit of time

let a = rate of work A does in a day

let b = rate of work B does in a day

this means that: $10a + 10b=1$ where work=1 and it just means the entire job has been completed.

Since b can do it alone in 15 days, this means that: $15b=1$

If we divide by 15 here, we get the equation: $b=\frac{1}{15}$

We can now use this definition to substitute it into the first equation we made.

$10a + 10(\frac{1}{15}) = 1$

Multiply the 10 and 1/15

$10a+\frac{2}{3}=1$

subtract 2/3 from both sides

$10a=\frac{1}{3}$

Now divide both sides by 10

$a=\frac{1}{30}$

Now multiply this by 6, since we a represents the amount of work that can be done in a day, we want to find how many parts of the work can be done by a in 6 days

$6a=\frac{6}{30}$

Now divide both the numerator and denominator by 6

$a=\frac{1}{5}$

Answer:

36.58% probability that one of the devices fail

Step-by-step explanation:

For each device, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it fails, or it does not fail. The probability of a device failling is independent of other devices. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
