A power system will collapse if a ground fault occurs on any two of lines A, B, and C simultaneously. Assume that ground faults

on lines A, B, and C are independent and have identical probability of 0.01. Hint: parts (a) and (b), use Bernoulli Trials; part (c), use Bayes Rule. a) What is the probability that the system will collapse

Answer:

0.000298 = 0.0298% probability that the system will collapse

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of possible ways the system can fail:

2 lines from a set of 3 fail, or all three fail.

Two from a set of 3:

Can be A and B, A and C, or B and C. Three possible outcomes then.

The probability of each is:

0.01*0.01*0.99

Two failling, each with 0.01 probability, and 1 working, with 0.99 probability.

All three:

Each with 0.01 probability.

a) What is the probability that the system will collapse

Both cases, so

p = 3*(0.01)^2*0.99 + (0.01)^3 = 0.000298

0.000298 = 0.0298% probability that the system will collapse

A right rectangular prism has these dimensions:
ki77a [65]
Volume of rectangular prism = 1 1/3 x 5/6 x 2/3 = 4/3 x 5/6 x 2/3 = 20/27

Volume of cube = 1/6 x 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/216

Number of cubes that will pack the rectangular prism = 20/27 / 1/216 = 160

the volume of a cone is 120 cubic centimeters. the height of the cone is 4.5 centimeters. determine the radius of a cone
kolbaska11 [484]
<h3> given:</h3>

<u>v = 120 \:  {cm}^{3}</u>

<u>h = 4.5 \: cm</u>

<h3>to find:</h3>

the radius of the cone.

<h3>solution:</h3>

r =  \sqrt{3 \frac{v}{\pi \: h} }

r =  \sqrt{3  \times   \frac{120}{\pi \times 4.5} }

r = 5.04627 \: cm

r = 5.05 \: cm

<u>hence</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>radius</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>given</u><u> </u><u>cone</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>5.05</u><u> </u><u>centimeters</u><u>.</u>

a bird of species a when diving can travel five times as fast as a bird of species b top speed if the total speeds for these two
jeka57 [31]
216 = x + y 
y = 5x
216 = 6x 
36 = x 
y = 5(36)
y = 180
Species A can travel at a top speed of 180
Species B can travel at a top speed of 36
