The average lifetime of a set of tires is 3.4 years. The manufacturer will replace any set of tires failing within three years o

f the date of purchase. The lifetime of these tires is known to follow an exponential distribution. What is the probability that the tires will fail within three years of the date of purchase?

Answer: the probability that the tires will fail within three years of the date of purchase is 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

The average lifetime of a set of tires is 3.4 years. It means that μ = 3.4

Decay parameter, m = 1/3.4 = 0.294

The probability density function is

f(x) = me^-mx

Where x is a continuous random variable representing the time interval of interest(the reliability period that we are testing)

Since x = 3 years,

Therefore, the probability that the tires will fail within three years of the date of purchase is

f(3) = 0.294e^-(0.294 × 3)

f(3) = 0.294e^- 0.882

f(3) = 0.12

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of leakage, R(t) = 1400 e^0.06t gallons/h

fraction remains , S(t) = e^(-0.32t)

initial contaminant = 1000 gallon

gallons contaminant present after t hour is S(t) R(t)

G(t) = S(t) R(t)

G(t) = 1400 e^{0.06t}\times e^{-0.32t}

G(t) = 1400 e^{- 0.26t}

Put t = 18 hours

G(t) = 1400 e^{- 0.26\times 18}

Taking log on both the sides

ln G = ln 1400 - 0.26 x 18

ln G = 7.244 - 4.68

ln G = 2.564

G = 13 gallons

Hello there,

There is a total of 40 animals in that in 10 zebras, 10 lions, 10 elephants, and 10 monkeys.
So the probability of them both being lions is pretty rare. 2/40 so that would give you a 1/20 chance of both crackers being both lions.

I hope this helps!

PLEASE HELP, I’ve been stuck on this question for a whileIn the diagram, AB is divided into equal parts. The coordinates of poin
castortr0y [4]
AB is divided into 8 equal parts and point C is 1 part FROM A TO B, so the ratio is 1:7, with C being 1/7 of the way.  The ratio is k, found by writing the numerator of the ratio (1) over the sum of the numerator and denominator (1+7).  So our k value is 1/8.  Now we need to find the rise and the run (slope) of the points A and B.  m= \frac{5-9}{9-(-3)}.  That gives us a rise of -4 and a run of 12.  The coordinates of C are found in this formula: C(x,y)=[ x_{1} +k(run), y_{1} +k(rise)].  Filling in accordingly, we have C(x,y)=[-3+ \frac{1}{8}(12),9+ \frac{1}{8}(-4)] which simplifies a bit to C(x,y)=(-3+ \frac{3}{2},9- \frac{1}{2}).  Finding common denominators and doing the math gives us that the coordinates of point C are (- \frac{3}{2}, \frac{17}{2}).  There you go!
