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.

In which
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

And p is the probability of X happening.
A total of 15 devices will be used.
This means that 
Assume that each device has a probability of 0.05 of failure during the course of the monitoring period.
This means that 
What is the probability that one of the devices fail?
This is 


36.58% probability that one of the devices fail
Malia : y = 8.1x.....this tells me she makes 8.10 per hr worked
Bill : if he earned 144.90 for working 18 hrs.....144.90/18 = 8.05 per hr worked.
so Malia makes 5 cents more per hr worked.
Is that the answer ur looking for ?
First, let x be the number of hours it will take for Hector to finish the same job alone. This means that every hour, Hector can do 1/x of the job. The amount of work done by Shawn and Hector in 6 hours should be equal to 1 complete work. This can be expressed as,
(1/9 + 1/x)(6) = 1
The value of x is 18. Thus, Hector can to 1/18 of the job in one hour.

I'm not sure, this question was kind of confusing
