Assume that there is a 88% rate of disk drive failure in a year. a. If all your computer data is stored on a hard disk drive with a copy stored on a second hard disk drive, what is the probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive? b. If copies of all your computer data are stored on threethree independent hard disk drives, what is the probability that during a year, you can avoid catastrophe with at least one working drive?

An observer(o) spots a plane(p) taking off from a local airport and flying at a 29 degree angle horizontal to her line of sight and located directly above a tower(t). the observer also notices a bird circling directly above her. if the distance from the plane(p) to the tower(t) is 6,000ft., how far is the bird(b) from the plane(p).

Going from point a to point b, the cheetah traveled at an average rate of 70 mph. returning to point a, the cheetah traveled at an average rate of 40 mph. can we say that this cheetah’s average rate was 55 mph? uchet write an equation for the average rate for the trip. remember, the cheetah runs from point a to point b and back to point a. first leg of trip: second leg of trip: ⦁ the following equation represents the average rate for the trip. is this equation equivalent to the one you wrote above? explain why or why not.

Let x have probability generating function gx (s) and let un generating function u(s) of the sequence uo, u1, satisfies p(x > n). show that the (1- s)u(s) = 1 - gx(s), whenever the series defining these generating functions converge.
