Refer back to the series-parallel system configuration introduced in, and suppose that there are only two cells rather than three in each parallel subsystem eliminate cells 3 and\({\bf{6}}\), and renumber cells \(4\) and \(5\) as \(3\) and \(4\). The probability that system lifetime exceeds t0 is easily seen to be \(.{\bf{9639}}\). To what value would \(.9\) have to be changed in order to increase the system lifetime reliability from \(.{\bf{9639}}\)to \(.{\bf{99}}\)? (Hint: Let P(Ai ) 5 p, express system reliability in terms of p, and then let x 5 p2 .)

\({{\rm{p}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.949}}{\rm{.}}\)

Step by step solution

01

Using the clue \({\rm{P}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{i}}}} \right){\rm{ = p,i = 1,2,3,4}}\) and renumbering the cells

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{P}}\left( {{\rm{\{ \;system lifetime exceeds\;}}{{\rm{t}}_{{\rm{ - 0\} }}}}{\rm{)}}} \right.{\rm{ = P}}\left( {\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{C}}{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{2}}}} \right){\rm{E }}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{C}}{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{4}}}} \right)} \right)}\\{\mathop {\rm{ = }}\limits^{{\rm{(1)}}} {\rm{P}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{C}}{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{2}}}} \right){\rm{ + P}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{C}}{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{4}}}} \right)}{{\rm{ - P}}\left( {\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{C}}{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{2}}}} \right){\rm{C}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{C}}{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{4}}}} \right)} \right)}\\ {\mathop {\rm{ = }}\limits^{{\rm{(2)}}} {\rm{P}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{1}}}} \right){\rm{*P}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{2}}}} \right){\rm{ + P}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{3}}}} \right){\rm{*P}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{4}}}} \right)}{{\rm{ - P}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{1}}}} \right){\rm{*P}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{2}}}} \right){\rm{*P}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{3}}}} \right){\rm{*P}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{4}}}} \right)}\\{{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{p}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ + }}{{\rm{p}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ - }}{{\rm{p}}^{\rm{4}}}{\rm{ = 2}}{{\rm{p}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ - }}{{\rm{p}}^{\rm{4}}}{\rm{.}}}\end{array}\)

(1): we utilize the statement given below,

(2): we derive the multiplication property from the proposition given below (since the occurrences are unrelated).

the proposition given below (since the occurrences are unrelated).

Proposition: There should be two events for every two events. \({\rm{A}}\)and \({\rm{B}}\)are two different types of

\({\rm{P(AÉ B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(AÇB)}}\)

Two occurrences \({\rm{A}}\)and \({\rm{B}}\)are independent if and only if they have the same multiplication property. \({\rm{P(AÇB) = P(A)*P(B)}}\)

02

calculating the probability

The chance of a system lifetime surpassing \({{\rm{t}}_{\rm{0}}}\)is supplied to us.

\({\rm{2}}{{\rm{p}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ - }}{{\rm{p}}^{\rm{4}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.99}}\)

Set \({\rm{x = }}{{\rm{p}}^{\rm{2}}}\)in order to answer this problem.

\({\rm{2x - }}{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.99}}\)

or, alternatively

\({{\rm{x}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ - 2x + 0}}{\rm{.99 = 0}}{\rm{.}}\)

where \({\rm{a = 1,b = - 2}}\)and \({\rm{c = 0}}{\rm{.99}}\)are the values. This indicates that the quadratic equation's solutions are

\({{\rm{x}}_{{\rm{12}}}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{ - b \pm }}\sqrt {{{\rm{b}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ - 4ac}}} }}{{{\rm{2a}}}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{2 \pm }}\sqrt {{{\rm{2}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ - 4*1*0}}{\rm{.99}}} }}{{{\rm{2*1}}}}\)

03

Calculating the probability

The first option is

\(\begin{matrix}{{\text{x}}_{\text{1}}}\text =&\frac{\text{2+}\sqrt{{{\text{2}}^{\text{2}}}\text{-4*0}\text{.99}}}{\text{2}}\text{ }\!\!\hat{\mathrm{U}}\!\!\text{ } \\ {{\text{x}}_{\text{1}}}\text =& \frac{\text{2+}\sqrt{\text{0}\text{.04}}}{\text{2}}\text{ }\!\!\hat{\mathrm{U}}\!\!\text{ } \\ {{\text{x}}_{\text{1}}}\text =&1\text{.1}\text{.} \\ \end{matrix}\)

and the second alternatives

\(\begin{matrix}{{\text{x}}_{\text{2}}}\text=&\frac{\text{2-}\sqrt{{{\text{2}}^{\text{2}}}\text{-4*0}\text{.99}}}{\text{2}}\text{ }\!\!\hat{\mathrm{U}}\!\!\text{ } \\ {{\text{x}}_{\text{2}}}\text =&0 \text{.9}\text{.} \\ \end{matrix}\text{ }\!\!\hat{\mathrm{U}}\!\!\text{ }\)

From the \({\rm{x = }}{{\rm{p}}^{\rm{2}}}\),\({\rm{p > 0}}\)

\({\rm{p}}_{\rm{1}}^{\rm{2}}{\rm{ = 1}}{\rm{.1}}\;\;\;{\rm{Û}}\;\;\;{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{ = }}\sqrt {{\rm{1}}{\rm{.1}}} \;\;\;{\rm{Û}}\;\;\;{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{ = 1}}{\rm{.049}}\)

And \({\rm{p}}_{\rm{2}}^{\rm{2}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.9}}\;\;\;{\rm{Û }}\;\;\;{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = }}\sqrt {{\rm{0}}{\rm{.9}}} \;\;\;{\rm{Û }}\;\;\;{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.949}}{\rm{.}}\).

Because \({\rm{p}}\) is a probability, and a probability cannot be greater than \({\rm{1}}\), the only solution is \({{\rm{p}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.949}}{\rm{.}}\)

The probability that an individual randomly selected from a particular population has a certain disease is \({\rm{.05}}\). A diagnostic test correctly detects the presence of the disease \({\rm{98\% }}\)of the time and correctly detects the absence of the disease \({\rm{99\% }}\)of the time. If the test is applied twice, the two test results are independent, and both are positive, what is the (posterior) probability that the selected individual has the disease? (Hint: Tree diagram with first-generation branches corresponding to Disease and No Disease, and second- and third-generation branches corresponding to results of the two tests.)
