Answer:
0.66608
Step-by-step explanation:
Equipment = 3 fans
Mortality = 0.098
We are required to find probability that equipment gets to work for 5years
The question says forces of mortality is constant and also equal to 0.098
To calculate p(x>5)
We will do this by calculating exponentially
e^-0.098x5
= 0.612626394
Probability that at least 2 fans out of 3 are working
3(0.612626394)²+(1-0.612626394)+(0.612626394)³
= 1.1259333x0.3873736+0.2299255
= 0.6660823470
This is approximately
<u>0.6608</u>
this is the probability that the equipment will work for at least 5years
<u>Positive</u> numbers are located to the right of zero on the <u>number</u> line
You'll need to convert both speeds into yards per minute.
12 mph = 12 mph 1760 yd 60 min
---------- * ------------ * ----------
1 mile 1 hr
Note that "miles" cancels. So does "hours." Finish this work.
Then convert 4.4 ft/sec into yards per minute.
Then, finally, compare your two rates via subtraction of the smaller from the larger.
For this, you use the Law of Distribution and multiply -1 by all terms in the parentheses. 7 • -1 = -7; -c • -1 = c. Then you combine them, but since c is a variable, -7 + c is the most simplified it can get. I hope this helped!
