Military radar and missile detection systems are designed to warn a country of an enemy attack. A reliability question is whether a detection system will be able to identify an attack and issue a warning. Assume that a particular detection system has a probability of detecting a missile attack. Use the binomial probability distribution to answer the following questions. a. What is the probability that a single detection system will detect an attack? (to 2 decimals) b. If two detection systems are installed in the same area and operate independently, what is the probability that at least one of the systems will detect the attack? (to 4 decimals) c. If three systems are installed, what is the probability that at least one of the systems will detect the attack? (to 4 decimals) d. Would you recommend that multiple detection systems be used? - Select your answer -

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) 0.90

(b) 0.99

(c) 0.999

(d) Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

A particular detection system has a 0.90 probability of detecting a missile attack.

Let X = number of detection system that detects a missile attack.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with probability of success as, p = 0.90.

(a)

Compute the probability that a single detection system will detect an attack as follows:

[tex]P(X=1)={1\choose 1}(0.90)^{1}(1-0.90)^{1-1}\\=1\times 0.90\times 1\\=0.90[/tex]

(b)

Compute the probability that at least one of the two systems will detect the attack as follows:

[tex]P(X\geq 1)=1-P(X<1)\\=1-P(X=0)\\=1-{2\choose 0}(0.90)^{0}(1-0.90)^{2-0}\\=1-0.01\\=0.99[/tex]

(c)

Compute the probability that at least one of the three systems will detect the attack as follows:

[tex]P(X\geq 1)=1-P(X<1)\\=1-P(X=0)\\=1-{3\choose 0}(0.90)^{0}(1-0.90)^{3-0}\\=1-0.001\\=0.999[/tex]

(d)

On using only one system the probability that a single detection system will detect an attack is 0.90.

On using two systems the probability that at least one of the two systems detecting the attack is 0.99.

And on using three systems the probability that at least one of the three systems detecting the attack is 0.999.

So as the number of system is increasing the probability of detecting the attack is getting closer to 1.

Thus, it would be wise to recommend that multiple detection systems be used.

For each value of w, determine whether it is a solution to 6w +9=33.
Is it a solution?

Answers

Answer:

Hello!!! Princess Sakura here ^^

Step-by-step explanation:

3 (no)

9 (no)

-7 (no)

-1 (no)

The solution to the equation 6w + 9 = 33 is 4.

The values of 2 = 3, 9, -7, and -1 are not solutions to 6w + 9 = 33.

What is a solution?

Solutions are the values of an equation where the values are substituted in the variables of the equation and make the equality in the equation true.

We have,

6w + 9 = 33

6w = 24
w = 4

For w = 3

6 x 3 + 9 = 33

18 + 9 = 33

27 = 33

This is not true so it is not a solution.

For w = 9

6 x 9 + 9 = 33

54 + 9 = 33

63 = 33

This is not true so it is not a solution.

For = - 7

6 x (-7) + 9 = 33

-42 + 9 = 33

-33 = 33

This is not true so it is not a solution.

For w = -1

6 + (-1) + 9 = 33

-6 + 9 = 33

3 = 33

This is not true so it is not a solution.

Thus,

None of the values of w are solutions to 6w + 9 = 33.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line given two points can be found by using the formula

[tex]m = \frac{ y_2 - y _ 1}{x_ 2 - x_ 1} \\[/tex]

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(3, −7) and (−1, 1)

The slope is

[tex]m = \frac{1 - - 7}{ - 1 - 3} = \frac{1 + 7}{ - 4} = - \frac{8}{4} = - 2 \\ [/tex]

find the value of x.

Answers

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Set 40 + y = 90

y=50

y = 6x + 2

6x + 2 = 50

6x = 48

48/6 = x

x=8

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

(6x + 2) + 40 = 90 because the entire angle is a right angle, therefore the whole angle is 90

subtract 40 from each side: 6x + 2 = 50

now subtract 2 from each side: 6x = 48

now divide 6 from each side: x = 8

Answers

Answer:

1a) Mean = 40

Standard Deviation = 5

b)i Which numbers on the list are within 0.5 SDs of average?

ii) within 1.5 SDs of average?

48, 50, 50, 54, 57

2a)Both of the following lists have the same average of 50. Which one has the smaller SD, and why? No computations are necessary.

The list with the smaller S.D = (ii) 50, 40, 60, 30, 70, 25, 75, 50, 50, 50

This because the results obtained from the second list (ii) is close to the mean , therefore, the Standard deviation is small.

b) Repeat, for the following two lists.

The list with the smaller S.D = (i) 50, 40, 60, 30, 70, 25, 75

This because the results obtained from the second list (i) is close to the mean , therefore, the Standard deviation is small.

Step-by-step explanation:

1a) Find the average and SD of the list 41, 48, 50, 50, 54, 57.

Average (Mean) = Sum of terms/Number of terms

= 41+ 48 + 50 + 50+ 54 + 57/6

= 300/6

= 50

Standard Deviation for the population= √(x - Mean)²/n

=√ (41 - 50)²+ (48- 50)² + (50- 50)² +(50- 50)² + (54 - 50)² +(57- 50)²/6

= √81 + 4 + 0 + 0 + 16 + 49/6

= √150/6

= √25

= 5

(b) Which numbers on the list are within 0.5 SDs of average?

Mean ± Standard deviation × 0.5

50 ± 5 × 0.5

50 - 2.5

= 47.5

50 + 2.5

= 52.5

The numbers on the list are within 0.5 SDs of average are number within 47.5 and 52.5 : 48, 50, 50

ii) Within 1.5 SDs of average?

Mean ± Standard deviation × 1.5

50 ± 5 × 1.5

50 - 7.5

= 42.5

50 + 7.5

= 57.5

The numbers on the list are within 1.5 SDs of average are numbers within 42.5 and 57.5: 48, 50, 50, 54, 57

2 (a) Both of the following lists have the same average of 50. Which one has the smaller SD, and why? No computations are necessary.

(i) 50, 40, 60, 30, 70, 25, 75

Mean is already give as 50

Standard Deviation = √(x - mean)²/n

= √(50 - 50) + (40- 50)² (60 -50)² +(30- 50)² + (70 - 50)² + (25 - 50)² (75 - 50)² /n

= √0 + 100 + 100 + 400+ 400 + 625 + 625/7

= √2250/7

= √321.4285714

= 17.92842914

(ii) 50, 40, 60, 30, 70, 25, 75, 50, 50, 50

Standard deviation = √(x - mean)²/n

√(50 -50)²+(40-50)² + (60 -50)²+ (30-50)² + (70 - 50)²+ (25-50)² +(75-50)² + (50 -50)² + (50 - 50)²+(50 - 50)²/10

= √0 + 100 + 100 + 400 + 400 + 625 + 625 + 0 + 0 + 0/10

√2250/10

√225

= √15

The list with the smaller S.D = Second list (ii) 50, 40, 60, 30, 70, 25, 75, 50, 50, 50

This because the results obtained from the second list (ii) is close to the mean , therefore, the Standard deviation is small.

(b) Repeat, for the following two lists.

(i) 50, 40, 60, 30, 70, 25, 75

= √(50 - 50) + (40- 50)² (60 -50)² +(30- 50)² + (70 - 50)² + (25 - 50)² (75 - 50)² /n

= √0 + 100 + 100 + 400+ 400 + 625 + 625/7

= √2250/7

= √321.4285714

= 17.92842914

(ii) 50, 40, 60, 30, 70, 25, 75, 99, 1

Standard Deviation = √(x - mean)²/n

= √(50-50)² +( 40 -50)² +( 60 - 50)² + (30 - 50)²+( 70 - 50)² + (25 - 50)² + (75 - 50)² +(99 - 50)² +(1 -50)²/9

= √0 + 100 + 100 + 400 + 400+ 625 + 625 + 2401 +2401/9

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

20+25+25+36+42+56+69+74+98+100 = 545

n = 10

Mean = 545/10

= 54.5

Median = 42+56/2 = 98/2 = 49

Mode = 25 since it occurred twice

2.

If 98 is recorded as 78

20+25+25+36+42+56+69+74+78+100

= 525

Mean = 525/10 = 52.5

Median = 42+56/2 = 98/2 = 49

Mode = 25

3.

If 98 is removed

20+25+25+36+42+56+69+74+ 100= 447

n = 9

Mean = 447/9 = 49.6

Median = 42
