Given that the probability <span>is
modeled by the function
![y=3(257,959)^x[tex] where x is the impurity concentration and y, given as a percent, is the probability of the fuse malfunctioning.\\Then, the probability of the fuse malfunctioning for an impurity concentration of 0.17 is given by [tex]y=3(257,959)^{0.17}=3(8.316941)=24.95](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%3D3%28257%2C959%29%5Ex%5Btex%5D%20%20where%20x%20is%20the%20impurity%20%0Aconcentration%20and%20y%2C%20given%20as%20a%20percent%2C%20is%20the%20probability%20of%20the%20fuse%20%0Amalfunctioning.%5C%5CThen%2C%20the%20%3C%2Fspan%3Eprobability%20of%20the%20fuse%20malfunctioning%20for%20an%20impurity%20concentration%20of%200.17%20is%20given%20by%20%5Btex%5Dy%3D3%28257%2C959%29%5E%7B0.17%7D%3D3%288.316941%29%3D24.95)
Therefore, the <span>probability of the fuse malfunctioning for an impurity concentration of 0.17 is 25% to the nearest percent.</span>
