Answer:
sophie used the wrong height for the pyramid
Step-by-step explanation:
24 months. 1 year equals 12 months. 12x2=24
The probability any one system works is 0.99
So the probability of any one system failing is 1-0.99 = 0.01, so basically a 1% chance of failure for any one system
Multiply out the value 0.01 with itself four times
0.01*0.01*0.01*0.01 = 0.000 000 01
I'm using spaces to make the number more readable
So the probability of all four systems failing is 0.00000001
Subtract this value from 1 to get
1 - 0.00000001 = 0.99999999
The answer is 0.99999999 which is what we'd expect. The probability of at least one of the systems working is very very close to 1 (aka 100%)

16. 10 ml of 20% saline and 40 ml of 10% saline
Step-by-step explanation:
A chemist takes x ml of 20% saline and y ml of 10% saline. In total, he takes
x + y ml that is 50 ml, so

There are
ml of salt in x ml of 20% saline and
ml of salt in 10% saline. There are
ml of salt in 50 ml of 12% saline. Thus,

15. We get the system of two equations:

16. Solve this system. From the first equation:

Substitute it into the second equation:

Answer:
-12
Step-by-step explanation:

First do multiplication.

And then, do the rest of the equation from left to right.

Answer that question to get:
-12
Hope this helped! :)
