The principle of redundancy is used when system reliability is improved through redundant or backup components. Assume that a​ student's alarm clock has a ​8.2% daily failure rate.

a. What is the probability that the​ student's alarm clock will not work on the morning of an important final​ exam?.
b. If the student has two such alarm​ clocks, what is the probability that they both fail on the morning of an important final​ exam?
c. What is the probability of not being awakened if the student uses three independent alarm​ clocks?

Answers

Answer 1

The solution to the probabilities in this principle of redundancy are:

a) 0.082b). 0.006724c.) 0.000551

How to solve for the probability

A. The probability that the alarm clock of this student would not work on the morning of an important exam is

= 8.2%

= 0.082

b. The probability that the 2 alarms would fail on the morning of an important exam is

p(alarm 1 failing) x p(alarm 2 failing)

= 0.082 x 0.082

= 0.006724

c. The probability that the student would not wake with the use of 3 independent alarms

= p(alarm 1 failing) x p(alarm 2 failing) x p(alarm 3 failing)

=  0.082 x 0.082 x 0.082

= 0.000551

A) 2.4819327451.....
B) √25
C) 9.1
D) V512

Answers

(D) V512 is not a rational number.

What are rational numbers?A rational number is any number that can be written as a fraction and has both the numerator (the top number) and the denominator (the bottom number) being integers and not equal to zero. In other words, a rational number is p/q, where p and q are both integers and q = 0. A rational number is one that has the form p/q, where p and q are integers and q is greater than zero. Some rational number examples include 1/3, 2/4, 1/5, 9/3, and so on.

Since, numbers in options (A), (B), and (C) can be written in fractions, then these numbers are rational numbers.

V512 cannot be written in fractions as we don't know what V is.So, V512 is not rational.

Therefore, (D) V512 is not a rational number.

The grid above shows the graph of the parent function
f(x)=|x|

Write the equation for the translated graph.
Ps: please only answer if you can explain it/help me understand it.

Answers

The parent function, f(x) = |x|, and the graph of the parent and translated function, gives the equation of the translated graph as; f(x) = |x + 3|

Which equations can be used to represent the given graphs?

The given parent function is; f(x) = |x|

From the parent function, we have;

When x = 0, f(0) = 0

The graph of the parent function is therefore the red graph.

The location of the vertex of the translated graph is at (x - 2, y + 1)

Given that the slope of the image of the graph of the parent function is the same as the slope of the graph of the parent function, we have;

(x, y) → (x - 2, y + 1)

Therefore in the image, the coordinates of y = x + 3

Suppose that between the ages of 22 and 40, you contribute $3000 per year to a 401(k) and your employer contributes $1500 per year on your behalf. The interest rate is 8.3% compounded annually.
a.) What is the value of the 401(k) rounded to the nearest dollar after 18 years?
b.)Suppose that after 18 years of working for this firm, you move on to a new job. However, you keep your accumulated retirement funds in the 401(k). How much money to the nearest dollar, will you have in the plan when you reach 65?
c.) What is the difference between the amount of money you will have accumulated in the 401(k) and the amount you contributed to the plan?

Answers

The value of the 401(k) after 18 years is $173,526 , the value of the 401(k) at the age of 65 is $1,273,424 and the difference between the amount of money you will have accumulated in the 401(k) and the amount you contributed to the plan is $1,192,724

As per the given information, you contribute $3000 p.a. and your employer contributes $1500 p.a. to a 401(k)

So, the total amount contributed for 401(k) = $3000+$1500 = $4500 p.a.

This is a case of annuity because fixed amount is contributed each year.

Future value of an annuity is given by a formula = a [tex]\frac{(1+i)^{n} -1}{i}[/tex]    

Where, a = annuity = $4500

i = rate of interest = 8.3% p.a. or 0.083

n = no. of years or periods = 18

Now, substituting the values in the formula,

FV of Annuity =  4500 [tex]\frac{( 1+ 0.083)^{18}-1 }{0.083}[/tex]

 = 4500 [tex]\frac{4.2006 - 1}{0.083}[/tex]

= 4500 × 38.5614

= 173526.3

The future value of 401(K) after 18 years is $173,526

Now, After 40 years no contributions are made to the funds. Therefore, the future value at age 65 (after 25 years):

By applying compound interest formula, the future value = p × [tex](1+i)^{n}[/tex]

Here, p = present value or principal amount = $184,036

i = rate of interest = 8.9% or 0.089

n = no. of years or periods = 25

Substituting  the values:

Future value = $173526 × [tex](1+0.083)^{25}[/tex]

= 173526 × 7.34025

 = 1273724.22

You will have $1,273,424 in the plan at age 65.

Now, The difference between the amount of money you will have accumulated ate the age of 65 and the amount you

contributed (for 18years) in the plan = $1,550,956 – ($4500×18)      

= $1273724 - $81000

= $1,192,724

Hence, the value of the 401(k) after 18 years is $173,526 , the value of the 401(k) at the age of 65 is $1,273,424 and the difference between the amount of money you will have accumulated in the 401(k) and the amount you contributed to the plan is $1,192,724

The length of a Fruity Chew is a normally distributed random variable X with an average width of

Find the probability, correct to four decimal places, that the length of a selected Fruity
Chew is
i.
between 0.8 and 1.5 centimetres

Answers

The probability that a selected fruity chew length is between 0.8 and 1.5 cm is 0.00578.

A fruity chew's length is normally distributed with random variable X with an average width of 1.2 cm.

The standard deviation is 0.12 cm.

Therefore, mean μ = 1.2 cm and;

Standard deviation, σ = 0.12 cm

Now, the probability is given as:

z =  ( x - μ ) / σ

The probability that the length of a selected fruity chew is between 0.8 and 1.5 cm.

P( 0.8 < x < 1.5 )

For, P( X > 0.8)

z =  ( x - μ ) / σ

z = ( 0.8 - 1.2 ) / 0.12

z =  - 0.4 / 0.12

z = - 3.33

Using the z score table,

P( X > 0.8 ) = 0.99957

For P( x < 1.5),

z = ( x - μ ) / σ

z = ( 1.5 - 1.2 ) / 0.12

z = 2.5

Using the z score table,

P( X < 1.5) = 0.99379

Therefore, the probability is between 0.8 and 1.5 cm will be:

= 0.99379 - 0.99957 = 0.00578

If you could exactly afford either 2 units of x and 7 units of y, or 4 units of x and 3 units of y, then if you spent all of your income on y, how many units of y could you buy?

Answers

Answer:

11 units of y

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total income be I

We have the two equations

2x + 7y = I   (1)   (exactly afford 2 units of x and 7 units of y)

4x + 3y = I   (2)   (exactly afford 42 units of x and 3 units of y)

Multiply (1) by 2
==> 2(2x + 7y) = 2 x I

==>  4x + 14y = 2I   (3)

Subtract (2) from (3)
(3) - (2)
==> 4x + 14y - (4x + 3y)  = 2I - I

==> 4x  + 14y - 4x - 3y = 2I
==> 14y - 3y = I                          (x terms cancel)

==> 11y = I

This represents an equation where if you buy 11 units of y, it will be your whole income

An astronaut on the moon throws a baseball upward. The astronaut is 6​ ft, 6 in.​ tall, and the initial velocity of the ball is 40 ft per sec. The height s of the ball in feet is given by the equation s equals negative 2.7 t squared plus 40 t plus 6.5s=−2.7t2+40t+6.5​, where t is the number of seconds after the ball was thrown. Complete parts a and b. a. After how many seconds is the ball 10 ft above the​ moon's surface?

Answers

The ball when thrown at initial velocity of 40ft/sec is 10 ft above the moon's surface after approximately 0.09 seconds and 14.73 seconds .

When an item is moving, its velocity is the rate at which its direction is changing as seen from a certain point of view and as measured by a specific unit of time.

The given equation for the height of the ball from the surface after t seconds is given by :

s=-2.7t²+40t+6.5

The initial velocity is 40ft/second.

the height of the ball is 10 ft from the surface.

therefore: s=10

Substituting the value in the equation we get:

10=-2.7t²+40t+6.5

or, -2.7t²+40t-3.5=0

This is a quadratic equation in t . Solving by the quadratic formula we get:

We know that for a equation: ax²+bx+c=0

[tex]{\displaystyle x={\frac {-b\pm {\sqrt {b^{2}-4ac}}}{2a}}}[/tex]

So using the above equation we get:

[tex]{\displaystyle x={\frac {-40\pm {\sqrt {40^{2}-4(-2.7)(-3.5)}}}{2(-2.7)}}}[/tex]

either x=14.726... or x= 0.088...

Therefore  x≈14.73 and x≈ 0.09

So the ball will be 10 ft above the moon's surface after approximately 0.09 seconds or 14.73 seconds .
