f)The life of a power transmission tower is exponentially distributed, with mean life 25 years. If three towers, operated independently, are being erected at the same time, what is the probability that at least 2 will still stand after 35 years?

15.24% probability that at least 2 will still stand after 35 years

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to understand the binomial distribution and the exponential distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

In which is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

And p is the probability of X happening.

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:

In which is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:

Which has the following solution:

The probability of finding a value higher than x is:

Probability of a single tower being standing after 35 years:

Single tower, so exponential.

Mean of 25 years, so

We have to find

What is the probability that at least 2 will still stand after 35 years?

Now binomial.

Each tower has a 0.2466 probability of being standing after 35 years, so

3 towers, so

We have to find:

In which

15.24% probability that at least 2 will still stand after 35 years

1gm = 1000mg so 0.1gm = 1000mg

first, convert the weight to kg

160lb * 1kg/2.2lb = 72.7kg

next, the dose

72.7kg * 100mg/kg = 7270mg

a is the correct
