Answer:
<em>99.93%</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Probability of Independent Events</u>
Given the probability of success of each detector is 0.84 independently of the others, their combined success/failure probability can be computed with the product rule.
We can calculate the required probability by using the binomial distribution, but it's easier to calculate the probability of the negated event an subtract from 1.
We want to know the probability that a least one of the 4 systems detects the occurrence of theft. That probability is the sum of the probabilities that one of them, two of them, three of them or all of them succeed. The negated event is that NONE of them actually detects the theft. Being p the individual probability of success, p=0.84. Being q the probability of failure, q=0.16.
The probability that none of the systems detect the theft is
Thus, the probability that at least one of the systems detect the theft is
That means a 99.93%
<u>Given</u>:
The height of the bird at time t is given by the function
We need to determine the time it takes the worm to be eaten by the bird.
<u>Time taken:</u>
The time can be determined by substituting h(t) = 0 in the function.
Thus, we have;
Switch sides, we get;
Let us solve the equation using the quadratic formula.
Thus, we get;
Simplifying, we get;
The values of t are given by
and
and
and
Since, the value of t cannot be negative, then
Thus, the time taken by the bird to eat the worm is seconds.
Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
