In a communication system the signal sent from point a to point b arrives by two paths in parallel. over each path the signal passes through two repeaters connected in series. each repeater in one path has a probability of failing (becoming an open circuit) of 0.002. for the other path, the probability of a repeater failing is 0.005. all repeaters fail independently of each other. find the probability that the signal will not arrive at point b.

The probability is 0.00003986

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an event A :

Where is the event where A does not occur

Given the following events :

Path 1 : ''The signal arrives by path 1'' where the probability of each repeater to work is 1 - 0.002 = 0.998

Path 2 : ''The signal arrives by path 2'' where the probability of each repeater to work is 1 - 0.005 = 0.995

Given two events A and B :

P(A∪B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A∩B)

And If A and B are independent events ⇒P(A∩B) = P(A).P(B)

P(Path 1) is the probability of both repeaters from path 1 working

P(Path 2) is the probability of both repeaters from path 2 working

P(Path 1 ∩ Path 2) = P(Path 1).P(Path 2) because all repeaters fail independently

P(Path 1 ∩ Path 2) =

If we write the event A : ''The signal will not arrive at point b''

Where is the event where the signal arrives

= P [(Path 1) ∪ (Path 2)] = P(Path 1) + P(Path 2) - P( Path 1 ∩ Path 2)

42%

step-by-step explanation:

we know,

total people = 60

total males = 25

percentage of males

= 25/60 × 100

= 25/6 × 10

= 25/3 × 5

= 125 / 3

= 41.

rounding of = 42%
