A truck contains both hydraulic brakes (reliability 0.96) and mechanical brakes (reliability 0.99). What is the probability of s

topping the truck (i) while moving at a high speed, assuming both systems must work to avoid hitting a vehicle stalled in the roadway, and (ii) while moving at a low speed, assuming either system will stop the truck in time if they function properly

Answer:

i) 0.9504

ii) 0.0452

Explanation:

Given data: reliability of hydraulic brakes= 0.96

reliability of mechanical brakes = 0.99

So the probability of stopping the truck = 0.96×0.99= 0.9504

At low speed

case: A works and B does not

= 0.96×(1-0.99) = 0.0096

case2 : B works and A does not

= 0.99×(1-0.96) = 0.0396

Therefore, probality of stopping = 0.0096+0.0396 = 0.0492

He proposed the theory of Continental Drift. He believed that all of the continents were once joined together in a super continent he called Pangea (not sure if that's spelled right I studied this awhile ago). He proved this by showing similarities in fossils in completely different continents and showing how well the continents could fit together.

At summer camp, the swimming course runs the length (L) of a small lake. To determine the length of the course, the camp counsel
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

47 m

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include the following:

Length of dry leg 1 (L1) = 40 m

Length of dry leg 2 (L2) = 25 m

Length of swimming course (L) =..?

The length of the swimming course can be obtained by using pythagoras theory as shown below:

L² = L1² + L2²

L² = 40² + 25²

L² = 1600 + 625

L² = 2225

Take the square root of both side.

L = √2225

L = 47.1 ≈ 47 m

Therefore, the length of the swimming course is approximately 47 m.
