Assume that there is a 8​% rate of disk drive failure in a year. a. If all your computer data is stored on a hard disk drive with a copy stored on a second hard disk​ drive, what is the probability that during a​ year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working​ drive?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.9936 = 99.36% probability that during a​ year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working​ drive

Step-by-step explanation:

For each disk, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it works, or it does not. The probability of a disk working is independent of any other disk, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

Assume that there is a 8​% rate of disk drive failure in a year.

So 100 - 8 = 92% probability of working, which means that [tex]p = 0.92[/tex]

Two disks are used:

This means that [tex]n = 2[/tex]

What is the probability that during a​ year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working​ drive?

This is:

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 0) = C_{2,0}.(0.92)^{0}.(0.08)^{2} = 0.0064[/tex]

[tex]P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.0064 = 0.9936[/tex]

0.9936 = 99.36% probability that during a​ year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working​ drive

A number is selected at
random from each of the sets
£2,3,4} and {1, 3, 5}. Find the
Probability that the sum of the two numbers is greater than 3 but less than 7?

Answers

Answer:

0.4444 = 44.44% probability that the sum of the two numbers is greater than 3 but less than 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

A number is selected at random from each of the sets {2,3,4} and {1, 3, 5}.

The possible values for the sum are:

2 + 1 = 3

2 + 3 = 5

2 + 5 = 7

3 + 1 = 4

3 + 3 = 6

3 + 5 = 8

4 + 1 = 5

4 + 3 = 7

4 + 5 = 9

Find the probability that the sum of the two numbers is greater than 3 but less than 7?

​4 of the 9 sums are greater than 3 but less than 7. So

[tex]p = \frac{4}{9} = 0.4444[/tex]

0.4444 = 44.44% probability that the sum of the two numbers is greater than 3 but less than 7.

Using each of the digits 2 through 5 only
once, write 2 two-digit whole numbers
whose product is as large as possible.

Answers

Answer:

52, 43

Step-by-step explanation:

the first instinct might be to make the first number as big as possible : 54

that leaves for the second number 2 and 3, and the largest combination here is 32 (larger than 23).

54×32 = 1728

but, the area of a rectangle (and that is what we are calculating here) is the larger, the closer the lengths of its side are.

so, a bigger difference between length and width creates a smaller area, than a smaller difference between length and width for similar lengths.

so, what if we sacrifice just a little bit of the length, and make it 53 ? that opens up 4 for the second number, giving us 42 as width. they are much closer to each other with still very similar length.

53×42 = 2226

you see ? much bigger.

let's experiment further and pick 52 as length.

that gives us 43 as width.

52×43 = 2236

and again a little bit closer and with bigger result.

you see, in the previous case we "added" comparably to this last case a 42 (53×42 instead of 52×42), and in the last case we added a 52 (52×43 instead of 52×42) creating the difference of 10.

but of course, this only works, if we don't decrease the length too much.

Think of 5 positive integers that have a mode of 5 and 6, a median of 6 and a mean of 7.

Answers

5,5,6,6,13

Step-by-step explanation:

Mode means most often.  The 5 numbers has 2 modes 5 and 6

This means that 4 of the numbers must be 5,5,6,6

Median means the middle number must be 6

5,5,6,6,x is the only way to to get the middle number to be 6

We need to average to 7

(5+5+6+6+x) /5 = 7

(5+5+6+6+x) /5  *5= 7*5

(5+5+6+6+x) =35

22+x = 35

x = 35-22

x = 13

The other number is 13

The solid dot at (-4, -5) is the lowest point on the graph. That tells you the absolute minimum is -5.

The answer for the first line segment : (-3,-7) (-4,0)

The answer for 2nd line segment is :(-3,8) (-9,-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let do line segment QR and ST. first.

Step 1: Find a line that contains a points that is perpendicular to the line of reflection

"A reflection of a pre image and new image is perpendicular to the line of reflection.

This means for points Q,S,T and R, there is a line that. contains one point that is perpendicular to the line of reflection.

A line that is perpendicular to the line of reflection is the negative reciprocal of the slope so this means all 4 lines must be on a different slopes but the slopes must be 1/2.

To simplify, things, here are the lines that will all 4 points be on

Point R will be on line y=1/2x-11/2Point Q will be on line y=1/2x+2Point S will be on line y=1/2x+19/2Point T will be on line y=1/2x-1/2

Step 2: Find a point where both the line and line of reflection intersect at.

Now we need to find a line where both the line of reflections and the 4 lines will intersect at separately.

The line with Point R will intersect with the line of reflection at point (1,-5)The line with Point Q will intersect with line of reflection at Point (-2,1)The line with Point S will intersect at point (-5,7)The line worth Point T will intersect at Point(-1,-1).

Step 3: Find the endpoints given the midpoint and the originally endpoint.

A reflection per and new image is equidistant from the point of reflection. So we. an say that the point where the line intersect is the midpoint of the pre and new image.

Using this info,

The endpoint for R prime is (-3, -7).The endpoint for Q prime is (-4,0). The endpoint of S prime is (-3,8).The endpoint of T prime is (-9,-5).

Connect R prime and Q prime. And that the new line segments

Connects S prime and T prime and that the new line segments.

Consider random samples of size 1200 from a population with proportion 0.65 . Find the standard error of the distribution of sample proportions. Round your answer for the standard error to three decimal places.

Answers

Answer:

The standard error of the distribution of sample proportions is of 0.014.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Consider random samples of size 1200 from a population with proportion 0.65 .

This means that [tex]n = 1200, p = 0.65[/tex]

Find the standard error of the distribution of sample proportions.

This is s. So

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{0.65*0.35}{1200}} = 0.014[/tex]

The standard error of the distribution of sample proportions is of 0.014.

Skylar's grades on four math tests are 85, 78, 77, and 69. What does Skylar need to score on the next test in order to have a mean score of 80?

Answers

Answer:

91

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean the the average of 5 numbers. If the next score is x, then the mean is:

(85 + 78 + 77 + 69 + x)/5 = 80

Solve it for x:

309 + x = 80*5x = 400 - 309x = 91

It is given that,

The mean is the average of 5 numbers.

Then if the,

Next score is x the mean will be.

We can solve now,

→ (85 +78 +77 + 69 + x)/5 = 80

→ (309 + x)/5 = 80

→ 309 + x = 80 × 5

→ 309 + x = 400

→ x = 400 - 309

→ x = 91

Hence, the next score is 91.

In one U.S city, the taxi cost is $3 plus $0.80 per mile. If you are traveling from the airport, there is an additional charge of $5.50 for tolls. How far can you travel from the airport by taxi for $56.50?

Answers

Answer:

60 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Create an equation where y is the total cost and x is the number of miles traveled.

0.8x will represent the cost from the miles traveled. 8.5 will be added to this to represent the taxi cost and additional charge from tolls:

y = 0.8x + 8.5

Plug in 56.50 as y and solve for x, the number of miles:

y = 0.8x + 8.5

56.5 = 0.8x + 8.5

48 = 0.8x

60 = x

So, you can travel 60 miles
