A piece of equipment contains 20 components of Type A, 15 of Type B, and 10 of Type C. The probability of operating successfully in its first 5000 hours of use is 0.98 for Type A components, 0.97 for Type B components, and 0.96 for Type C components. Assuming all components operate independently, what is the probability that every component operates successfully in its first 5000 hours of use?
Write your answer as a decimal rounded to 4 places.
probability that every component operates successfully in its first 5000 hours of use
=P(each of A's 20 operate successfully)*P(each of A's 15 operate successfully)*P(each of C's 10 operate successfully)
=0.98^20*0.97^15*0.96^10
=0.2811

ATV set contains five circuit boards of type A five of type B, and three of type C. The probability of falling in its first 5000 hours of use is 0.02 for a type A circuit board, 0.04 for a type B circuit board, and 0.015 for a type C circuit board. Assuming that the failures of the various circuit boards are independent of one another, compute the probability that no circuit board fails in the first 5000 hours of...
A complex electronic system is built with a certain number of backup components in its subsystems. One subsystem has six identical components, each with a probability of 0.3 of failing in less than 1,000 hours. The sub system will operate if any three of the six components are operating. Assume that the components operate independently. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) Find the probability that exactly three of the six components last longer than 1,000 hours. (b) Find...
Example 1: Electronic components of a certain type have a length life (in hours) X, that follows the exponential distribution with probability density given by f(x) = (1/100)e ^ [(− 1/100)x] , x > 0. a. Suppose that 2 such components operate independently and in series in a certain system (that is, the system fails when either component fails). Find the density function for the length of life of the system. b. Suppose that 2 such components operate independently and...
You have sequenced a piece of wild-type DNA from mouse. It clearly contains a gene, but you do not know what gene it is. How would you use the cloned wild-type gene to find out its mutant phenotype? A. knock out B. overexpression C. QTL mapping D. quantitative real-time PCR
A process has two stages. In the first stage, a machine makes two components, call them type A and B. It takes 250 seconds to switch production between the component types. During that time no production occurs. When in production, each component (A or B) requires 0.6 seconds to be completed. In the second stage, the components, A and B, are assembled to make a final product, call it C. The assembly stage can combine the two components into 1...
Air Spares is a wholesaler that stocks engine components and test equipment for the commercial aircraft industry.
