We are given 5 boys for every four girls. We could set up an equation and solve for x.

5x+4x=198
9x=198
x=22
now plug in x = 22 back for 5x to find the total number of boys
5(22) =110  boys
we could also let x = 22 for 4x to find the total number of girls (even though we're not asked to do this)
4(22) = 88 girls

The AAA system contains 3 independent components in parallel, each with probability of failure 0.4. Find the expected number of
Gre4nikov [31]

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

E = \frac{r}{p}

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.

p = 0.4[\tex]So[tex]E = \frac{r}{p} = \frac{1}{0.4} = 2.5

The expected number of systems inspected until the first failed unit is 2.5

Hi there! :)

Step-by-step explanation:

SLOPE=\frac{Y_2-Y_1}{X_2-X_1}=\frac{RISE}{RUN}
