Equations and Inequations

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.

Linear Functions

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

3. a) On a certain night soon after sunset in March, the probability that an observer sees a meteor
(falling star) in any given second is 6/3600 (note that an hour is 3600 seconds; one mentions seconds here,
since one second is a very short time under the circumstances
this rate in very short time intervals). What is the probability that this observer will see exactly k meteors
in a given hour (k > 0)?
b) What is the probability that the same observer will see 4 meteors in a given hour.
so 6 is the hourly rate when one measures

solve the following
Please provide steps for how you got the solution to the problem provided below. A machine is used to produce one of each of two types of product (A and B) on alternating days, i.e., if A is produced today then B will be produced tomorrow and vice versa. Each day, there is a probability that the machine malfunctions. Malfunction probability after a day of operation is 0.03 when producing A and 0.07 when producing B. Once the machine malfunctions, it is no longer operable and will not be replaced until sometime in the future (beyond modeling horizon). Model the system as a Markov chain (give transition matrix on your paper). Suppose that on Monday product A was produced. Find the probability that the machine is still operable by the morning of Thursday. Your model should have a state ”malfunction”, which cannot transition to any other state other than itself.
