The military requires to send five autonomous tanks to a remote location for a mission. While working on the requirements of the mission it has been found that for successful completion of the mission, it is necessary that at least three tanks must survive. The reliability of an individual tank is 75% for the mission and it is same for all the tanks. Determine the overall reliability of the system for successful completion of the mission

It is known that in any given year, • 90% of the people in a city move to the suburbs; • 80% of the people in the suburbs do not move to the city. Given an initial city population of 55,000 and an initial suburb population of 77,000, what are the long-term population levels of the city and the suburb?
The principle of redundancy is used when system reliability is improved through redundant or backup components. Assume that a student's alarm clock has a 8.2% daily failure rate. Complete parts (a) through (d) below.
You are an orange farmer experimenting with a new fertiliser. Having divided your orchard into numerous sub-plots, you applied different concentrations of this fertiliser on each of the plots and measured the yield of oranges in kilograms per acre. It is worth noting that too little fertiliser had very little effect on the yield and too much fertiliser ended up stunting fruit growth and reducing your yield. To work out the optimal fertiliser concentration, which two numerical methods would you need and which order would you need to apply them in? a. Curve fitting, followed by solving an ODE. b. Solving an ODE followed by root-finding applied to the derivative of the resultant curve. c. Root finding followed by numerical integration. d. Solving a system of linear equations followed by solving an ODE. e. Numerical integration followed by solving an ODE. f. Curve fitting, followed by numerical integration. g.

The Sanders Garden Shop mixes two types of grass seed into a blend. Each type of grass has been rated (per pound) according to its shade tolerance, ability to stand up to traffic, and drought resistance, as shown in the table. Type A seed costs $1 and Type B seed costs $2. If the blend needs to score at least 300 points for shade tolerance, 400 points for traffic resistance, and 750 points for drought resistance, how many pounds of each seed should be in the blend? Which targets will be exceeded? How much will the blend cost? Type A Type B Shade Tolerance 1 1 Traffic Resistance 2 1 Drought Resistance 2 5

A recent drug survey showed an increase in the use of drugs and alcohol among local high school seniors as compared to the national percent. Suppose that a survey of 100 local seniors and 100 national seniors is conducted to see if the proportion of drug and alcohol use is higher locally than nationally. Locally, 65 seniors reported using drugs or alcohol within the past month, while 60 national seniors reported using them.

Whenever Toronto has severe snow storm, many flights are delayed and Pearson International Airport has to deploy resources to clear the apron, taxiways and runaways to ensure that the airport continues to remain operational in addition to making sure all the departing aircraft are completely de-iced before they take-off. This is a critical safety measure as aircraft with ice buildup on the wings or the fuselage during take-off can be catastrophic. At the same time, the de-icing operation is extremely time consuming and costly, and must be accurately factored into the forecast of an airport's operation to ensure optimal and safe performance. You are the Operations Manager at Pearson International Airport, and after reviewing the snowfall patterns for the last 10 years, you have determined the following probabilities: The chance of having a severe snow storm during the winter season is 0.15 The chance of having major flight delays during the winter season is 0.35 Amongst the days there…
Sarah believes that completely cutting caffeine out of a person’s diet will allow him or her more restful sleep at night. In fact, she believes that, on average, adults will have more than two additional nights of restful sleep in a four-week period after removing caffeine from their diets. She randomly selects 8 adults to help her test this theory. Each person is asked to consume two caffeinated beverages per day for 28 days, and then cut back to no caffeinated beverages for the following 28 days. During each period, the participants record the numbers of nights of restful sleep that they had. The following table gives the results of the study. Test Sarah’s claim at the 0.02 level of significance assuming that the population distribution of the paired differences is approximately normal. Let the period before removing caffeine be Population 1 and let the period after removing caffeine be Population 2. Numbers of Nights of Restful Sleep in a Four-Week Period With Caffeine 18 24 22…
