Answer:

P(at least one valve triggers) = 0.67232.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider a boiler with five identical relief valves, where the probability of each valve opening on request is 0.92, assuming they operate independently.

This scenario models a Binomial distribution;

P(X=r) = \binom{n}{r}p^{r} (1-p)^{n-r}; x = 0,1,2,3,.....

where n = total trials (number of samples) = 5 identical relief valves

r = success count = at least one valve opens

p = success probability, which in this case is 0.92, the chance of a specific valve opening when needed.

Let X = count of valves that open on demand

This indicates X ~ Binom(n=5, p=0.92)

The probability that at least one valve opens can be expressed as = P(X \geq 1)

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - Probability that none of the valves open

= 1 - P(X = 0)

= 1 - \binom{5}{0}0.92^{0} (1-0.92)^{5-0}

= 1-(1 \times 1 \times 0.08^{5})

= 1 - 0.32768 results in 0.67232

Consequently, the chance that at least one valve activates is 0.67232.

Suppose that a student is randomly selected from a large high school. The probability that the student is a senior is 0.22. The
lawyer [12517]

Answer: La probabilidad que necesitamos es 0.16.

Step-by-step explanation:

Se nos proporciona que

La probabilidad de que el estudiante sea un senior = 0.22

La probabilidad de que el estudiante tenga una licencia de conducir = 0.30

La probabilidad de que el estudiante sea un senior o tenga una licencia de conducir = 0.36

Buscamos la probabilidad de que el estudiante sea un senior y tenga licencia de conducir.

Según la pregunta,

P(S\cap D)=P(S)+P(D)-P(S\cup D)\\\\P(S\cap D)=0.22+0.30-0.36\\\\P(S\cap D)=0.16

Por lo tanto, la probabilidad que necesitamos es 0.16.

PIT_PIT [12445]
Given: Triangle ABC is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise and then translated vertically by 3 units to form triangle A'B'C'. To determine: The transformation rule necessary to map each point (x,y) on Triangle ABC to its equivalent point on Triangle A'B'C'. Solution: For a figure that undergoes a 90-degree counterclockwise rotation, the transformation will be defined as: To translate a figure upward by 3 units, the appropriate transformation will be applied afterwards. Hence, when triangle ABC experiences a rotation of 90 degrees counterclockwise followed by a translation of 3 units upward to create triangle A'B'C', the transformation rule will be established accordingly.
