6. Assume that a component passes a test is 0.85 and that components perform independently. What is the probability that the third failure will occur on the tenth component tested

3.90% probability that the third failure will occur on the tenth component tested

Step-by-step explanation:

For each component, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it fails, or it does not fail. Components perform independently. So we use the binomial probability distribution 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.

In which is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

And p is the probability of X happening.

Assume that a component passes a test is 0.85

So they fail with probability of

What is the probability that the third failure will occur on the tenth component tested

First 9 components: Two failures, that is, P(X = 2) when n = 9.

10th component: Failure with probability 0.15.

So

In which

So

3.90% probability that the third failure will occur on the tenth component tested

4+n=5

step-by-step explanation:

this is because the four is four hours and the n represents the 1 extra hour over the weekend.

b= i'm srry i don't know that one.

4+n=5 n=1 because if vernon plays 5 hours a week then 4+1=5 hours.

hope this : )
