Hospitals typically require backup generators to provide electricity in the event of a power outage. Assume that emergency backu

p generators fail 18​% of the times when they are needed. A hospital has two backup generators so that power is available if one of them fails during a power outage. Required:a. Find the probability that both generators fail during a power outage.b. Find the probability of having a working generator in the event of a power outage. Is that probability high enough for the hospital?c. Is that probability high enough for the hospital?

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>a. 0.36</u>

<u>b. 0.1296</u>

<u>c. No.</u>

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

1. Note the probability of emergency backup generators to fail when they are needed = 18% or 0.18. Thus,

a. Probability of both emergency backup generators failing = P (G1 and G2 fails) where G represents the generators.

= P (G1 falls) x P ( G2 fails)

= 0.18 x 0.18

= 0.36

b. The probability of having a working generator in the event of a power outage = G1 fails x G2 works + G2 works x G2 fails

= 0.36 x 0.18 + 0.18 x 0.36

= 0.1296

c. Looking at the probability of any of the generators working, it is not meeting safety standards as lives could be lost if the backup generators needed to perform an emergency surgery operation fails.

dangina [55]

Ruby wants to <u>start</u> her own <u>business</u> taking photographs. She has to <u>purchase</u>

  • photo printer for $251.99;
  • lights for $150.00;
  • photo paper for $30.98.

In total, she will use

$251.99 + $150.00 + $30.98 = $432.97.

If she has $840.32 in savings, then

$840.32 - $432.97 = $407.35 will remain.

Answer: she will use $432.97 - correct answer A

Craig has $1850 dollars in a bank account that he uses to make automatic payments of $400.73 on his car loan. If Craig stops mak
Ivenika [448]

Given:

Amount in the bank account = $1850

Monthly payment of can loan = $400.73

To find:

When would automatic payments make the value of the account zero?

Solution:

Craig stops making deposits to that account. So, amount $1850 in the bank account is used to make monthly payment of can loan.

On dividing the amount by monthly payment, we get

\dfrac{1850}{400.73}=4.61657

It means, the amount is sufficient for 4 payment but for the 5th payment the amount is not sufficient.

Therefore, the 5th automatic payments make the value of the account zero.

sammy [17]

Answer:

The given statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

A corollary is a statement that can be easily proved using a theorem. This statement is true.

8_murik_8 [283]
We can solve this equation by using the Square Root Method.
First, take the square root of each side of the equation:
(x-8)^2 = 144 becomes x-8 = 12
Then add 8 to both sides.
x=20

The original lawn was d. 20 feet by 20 feet.
