The components of a 6-component system are to be randomly chosen from a bin of 25used components. The resulting system will be functional if at least 3 of its 6 components arein working condition. If 15 of the 25 components in the bin are in working condition, what isthe probability that the resulting system will be functional? Is there any approximate solution?

A company manufacturing CDs is working on a new technology. A random sample of 646 Internet users were asked: "As you may know, some CDs are being manufactured so that you can only make one copy of the CD after you purchase it. Would you buy a CD with this technology, or would you refuse to buy it even if it was one you would normally buy?" Of these users, 59% responded that they would buy the CD. Complete parts a and b below. a) Create a 99% confidence interval for this percentage. ( 54.008 %, 63.993 %) (Round to three decimal places as needed.

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 0.039 and the system that utilizes the component is part of a triple modular redundancy. (a) What is the probability that the system does not fail? (b) Engineers decide to the probability of failure is too high for this system. Use trial and error to determine the minimum number of components that should be included in the system to result in system that has greater than a 0.99999999 probability of not failing. (a) The probability is (Round to eight decimal places as needed.)
