Think of the 13-ft length of the ladder as the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Represent the horiz. distance from foot of ladder to base of tree by x, or 5 ft.
Represent the vert. dist. from base of tree to top of ladder by y, which is unknown.
Then (13 ft)^2 = (5 ft)^2 + y^2, or
169 ft^2 = 25 ft^2 + y^2. This simplifies to y^2 = 144. Thus y = + 12 feeet.
Note: Please pay attention to your spelling: "lader i up agenst a tree" should be "the top of a 13-ft ladder is placed against a tree."
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this
problem, let us analyze this step by step. The temperature for each day is as
follows:
Water temperature
on Sunday = 78 degrees F
Water temperature
on Monday = changed by -3 degrees F
Water temperature
on Tuesday = changed by 3 degrees F
We can see that
the total change of water temperature from Sunday to Tuesday is:
-3 + 3 = 0
Therefore there
is zero overall change. There the integer which represents the temperature
change is “0”.
Since the overall
change in water temperature is zero, hence the temperature on Sunday and on
Tuesday is similar.
Water temperature
on Tuesday = 78 degrees F
Answer:
a) ![P[C]=p^n](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%5BC%5D%3Dp%5En)
b) ![P[M]=p^{8n}(9-8p^n)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%5BM%5D%3Dp%5E%7B8n%7D%289-8p%5En%29)
c) n=62
d) n=138
Step-by-step explanation:
Note: "Each chip contains n transistors"
a) A chip needs all n transistor working to function correctly. If p is the probability that a transistor is working ok, then:
![P[C]=p^n](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%5BC%5D%3Dp%5En)
b) The memory module works with when even one of the chips is defective. It means it works either if 8 chips or 9 chips are ok. The probability of the chips failing is independent of each other.
We can calculate this as a binomial distribution problem, with n=9 and k≥8:
![P[M]=P[C_9]+P[C_8]\\\\P[M]=\binom{9}{9}P[C]^9(1-P[C])^0+\binom{9}{8}P[C]^8(1-P[C])^1\\\\P[M]=P[C]^9+9P[C]^8(1-P[C])\\\\P[M]=p^{9n}+9p^{8n}(1-p^n)\\\\P[M]=p^{8n}(p^{n}+9(1-p^n))\\\\P[M]=p^{8n}(9-8p^n)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%5BM%5D%3DP%5BC_9%5D%2BP%5BC_8%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3D%5Cbinom%7B9%7D%7B9%7DP%5BC%5D%5E9%281-P%5BC%5D%29%5E0%2B%5Cbinom%7B9%7D%7B8%7DP%5BC%5D%5E8%281-P%5BC%5D%29%5E1%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3DP%5BC%5D%5E9%2B9P%5BC%5D%5E8%281-P%5BC%5D%29%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3Dp%5E%7B9n%7D%2B9p%5E%7B8n%7D%281-p%5En%29%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3Dp%5E%7B8n%7D%28p%5E%7Bn%7D%2B9%281-p%5En%29%29%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3Dp%5E%7B8n%7D%289-8p%5En%29)
c)
![P[M]=(0.999)^{8n}(9-8(0.999)^n)=0.9](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%5BM%5D%3D%280.999%29%5E%7B8n%7D%289-8%280.999%29%5En%29%3D0.9)
This equation was solved graphically and the result is that the maximum number of chips to have a reliability of the memory module equal or bigger than 0.9 is 62 transistors per chip. See picture attached.
d) If the memoty module tolerates 2 defective chips:
![P[M]=P[C_9]+P[C_8]+P[C_7]\\\\P[M]=\binom{9}{9}P[C]^9(1-P[C])^0+\binom{9}{8}P[C]^8(1-P[C])^1+\binom{9}{7}P[C]^7(1-P[C])^2\\\\P[M]=P[C]^9+9P[C]^8(1-P[C])+36P[C]^7(1-P[C])^2\\\\P[M]=p^{9n}+9p^{8n}(1-p^n)+36p^{7n}(1-p^n)^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=P%5BM%5D%3DP%5BC_9%5D%2BP%5BC_8%5D%2BP%5BC_7%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3D%5Cbinom%7B9%7D%7B9%7DP%5BC%5D%5E9%281-P%5BC%5D%29%5E0%2B%5Cbinom%7B9%7D%7B8%7DP%5BC%5D%5E8%281-P%5BC%5D%29%5E1%2B%5Cbinom%7B9%7D%7B7%7DP%5BC%5D%5E7%281-P%5BC%5D%29%5E2%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3DP%5BC%5D%5E9%2B9P%5BC%5D%5E8%281-P%5BC%5D%29%2B36P%5BC%5D%5E7%281-P%5BC%5D%29%5E2%5C%5C%5C%5CP%5BM%5D%3Dp%5E%7B9n%7D%2B9p%5E%7B8n%7D%281-p%5En%29%2B36p%5E%7B7n%7D%281-p%5En%29%5E2)
We again calculate numerically and graphically and determine that the maximum number of transistor per chip in this conditions is n=138. See graph attached.
