Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For each component, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it fails, or it does not. The components are independent. We want to know how many outcomes until r failures. The expected value is given by
In which r is the number of failures we want and p is the probability of a failure.
In this problem, we have that:
r = 1 because we want the first failed unit.
The expected number of systems inspected until the first failed unit is 2.5
Option D:
Solution:
Given function:
To find the inverse of the function.
<u>Inverse of a function:</u>
<em>If a function f(x) is mapping x to y, then the inverse function of f(x) maps y back to x.</em>
Interchange the variables x and y.
Now, solve for y.
Multiply both sides by (y - 5).
Cancel the common factors, we get
Divide by x on both sides.
Add 5 on both sides.
To make the denominator same, multiply the 2nd term by .
Option D is the correct answer.
