Answer:

The likelihood that a failure will not take place within the next 30 months is 0.0454.

Step-by-step explanation:

We employ a Poisson distribution where:

t = time units

x = occurrences during t units

λ = average occurrences per unit of time

P(x;λt) = e raised to the power of (-λt) multiplied by λtˣ divided by x!

Here, λt equals 25.

x equals 30.

P(x= 30) = 25³⁰e⁻²⁵/ 30!

P (x= 30) = 8.67 E41 * 1.3887 E-11/30!    (where E signifies exponent)

P (x=30) = 1.204 E31/30!

Utilizing a statistical calculator will yield:

P (x=30) = 0.0454

The probability that the next failure will not occur prior to 30 months is 0.0454.

Write the number 0.21212121.. as a fraction let x=
AnnZ [12381]
To work with the repeating decimals, note that since there are two digits repeating, you will be using a 1 followed by two zeros, which is 100. This factor will be important for subsequent calculations.

Let’s denote the repeating decimal as x.

Thus, you can write

x = 0.212121...

Now, if you multiply this equation by 100, you can write it on top of the previous equation.
This results in:

100x = 21.212121...
x = 0.212121...

Next, set up a subtraction by taking the second equation from the first:

100x = 21.212121...
x = 0.212121...
- ----------------------------
99x = 21

Solving for x involves dividing both sides by 3:

33x = 7

Then, divide both sides by 33:

x = 7/33

Thus, we conclude that the repeating decimal 0.212121... equates to the fraction 7/33.

Answer: the fraction is 7/33
