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%)

Abby used the quadratic formula to find the zeros of the

MArishka [77]

Step 2: She did not simplify under the square root correctly

under the square root:

(-6)^2 =36

and -4(5)(-8) =160

therefore under the square root it needs to be square root of 36+160 which is square root of 196.

That answer is 14 when square rooted
