In airline applications, failure of a component can result in catastrophe. As a result, many airline components utilize something called triple modular redundancy. This means that a critical component has two backup components that may be utilized should the initial component fail. Suppose a certain critical airline component has a probability of failure of 0.0065 and the system that utilizes the component is part of a triple modular redundancy. (a) Assuming each component's failure/success (b) What is the probability at least one of the components does not fail? independent of the others, what is the probability all three components fail, resulting in disaster for the flight? (a) The probability is (Round to eight decimal places as needed.)

A satellite system consists of 4 components and can function adequately if at least 2 of the 4 components are in working condition. If each component is, independently, in working condition with probability 0.6, what is the probability that the system functions adequately?

This problem demonstrates the concept of redundancy, the principle of improving reliability of systems by using redundant or backup components. Suppose a hydraulic system on an airplane has a 5% probability of failing. a) What is the probability that the hydraulic system does not fail (that is, the flight is completed safely)? b) Now, suppose that the airplane has three independent hydraulic systems that each have a 5% probability of failure. What is the probability that all three systems fail? c) Supposing that the airplane will safely complete its flight if at least one of the three independent hydraulic systems is functioning, what is the probability that the airplane will safely complete its flight? d) What effect does having a redundancy of three independent hydraulic systems have on the probability of a safe flight?
A square matrix is said to be doubly stochastic if itsentries are all nonnegative and the entries in each row andeach column sum to 1. For any ergodic, doubly stochasticmatrix, show that all states have the same steady-stateprobability.
In the study of evolutionary behavior, the Trivers-Willard hypothesis indicates that healthyparents should tend to have more male offspring than female, and that weaker parents should tendto have more female offspring than male. This tendency may maximize the number of each parent’sgrandchildren (and thus help to ensure that its genetic code is preserved) since a healthy maleoffspring can win many mates, but a relatively unhealthy offspring has the best chance of mating ifit is female. In an experiment to examine this hypothesis, a group of 40 opossums were monitoredand 20 of them were given an enhanced diet. After a certain period of time, the opossums with theenhanced diet had raised 19 male offspring and 14 female offspring, and the opossums without theenhanced diet had raised 15 male offspring and 15 female offspring. Does this finding provideevidence in support of the Trivers-Willard hypothesis? (a) Describe the unknown parameters ?1 and ?2. Then state the null and…

A study of the isopluvial maps revealed that at Najaf Al-Ashraf a maximum rainfall depth of 175 mm in 18 hr has a return period of 100 years. The probability of an 18 hr rainfall equal to or greater than 175 mm occurring at Najaf Al-Ashraf at least once in 50 years is
A study was conducted to demonstrate that soybeans inoculated with nitrogen-fixing bacteria yield more and grow adequately without expensive environmentally deleterious synthesized fertilizers. The trial was conducted under controlled conditions with uniform amounts of soil. The initial hypothesis was that inoculated plants would outperform their uninoculated counterparts. This assumption is based on the facts that plants need nitrogen to manufacture vital proteins and amino acids and that nitrogen-fixing bacteria would make more of this substance available to plants, increasing their size and yield. There were 8 inoculated plants (I) and 8 uninoculated plants (U). The plant yield as measured by pod weight for each plant is given in Table 2.20 Here are the questions I would like explanations for. Please use STATA to compute answers!!!: 2.35. The objective is to compute appropriate descriptive statistics for I and Data set available U plants. 2.36. Use graphic methods to compare the…

A smartphone manufacturer is so certain of its quality control that it offers a complete replacement warranty if the smartphone fails within 3 years. Based upon compiled data, the company notes that there is a 2 percent chance that its smartphone will fail during the first year, a 10 percent chance that a smartphone that survives the first year fails during the second year, and a 20 percent chance that a smartphone that survives the first two years fails during the third year. The warranty does not cover replacement smartphones after the third year. (a) Formulate the evolution of the status of the smartphone as a Markov Chain whose states include two abosrbing states that involve needing to honor the warranty or having the smartphone survive the warranty period. Construct the transition probability matrix and draw the transition probability diagram. (b) Determine the probability that: (a) the manufacturer will have to honor the warranty and (b) the manufacturer will not…

At the end of summer, the total weight of seeds accumulated by a nest of seed-gathering ants will vary from nest to nest. If the expected total weight of seeds gathered by a randomly chosen nest is 5 pounds, and the standarddeviationis0.5pounds,whatistheprobabilitythatthetotalcombinedweightoftheseedsgatheredby100 nests will be larger than 495 pounds by the end of next summer? To answer this question most accurately, given the information available, we would use: 1. Chebyshev’s theorem 2.Markov’s theorem (3.The Central Limit Theorem 4.The joint probability that the weight of seeds is larger than 5 pounds in each nest.
