Problem 9

Space Shuttle has three computers. Computer A is a primary computer and Computer B and Computer C are secondary and third auxiliary computers. There is a constant probability of 3% that each computer might malfunction…What is the probability that during the operation of leaving orbit, all computers would be malfunctioning?

Expert Solution

P(all 3 computers will be malfunctioning) = 0.03³ = 0.000027 (ans)

The Cowie Corporation has a machining facility specializing in jobs for the space-shuttle components market. The prior job costing system had two direct cost categories (direct materials and direct manufacturing labor) and a single indirect cost pool (manufacturing overhead, allocated using direct labor-hours). The indirect cost allocation rate of the prior system for 2020 would have been $120 per direct manufacturing labor-hour. Recently, a team with members from product design, manufacturing, and accounting used an activity-based approach to refine its...

On Jan. 28, 1986, the space shuttle Challenger launched for its tenth and final mission. Seventy-three seconds into launch, the Challenger exploded with seven astronauts aboard, including Christa McAuliffe who had been selected to be the first teacher in space. After a lengthy investigation, NASA concluded that the shuttle was destroyed when a primary and secondary O-ring on a solid rocket booster failed to seal and seat properly. The seal design was faulty, and the problem was made worse by...

A space shuttle has 6 O-rings. When launched an O-ring has the probability of failure of .014. Whether an O-ring fails is the independent of the other O-rings. a.)What is the probability that during 23 launches no O-ring fails, but that at least one O-ring will fail during the 24th launch? b.) What is the probability the space shuttle will go no more than 10 launches without an O-ring failure? c.) What is the mean number of launches until an...

A computer manufacturer produces three types of computers: laptop, desktop, and tablet The manufacturer has designed their supply chain in such a way so that the final assembly of their computers entails putting together different quantities of the same parts. We will assume that the costs for parts unique to the model have already been accounted for in the reported per-unit profits, and that inventory levels for these other parts do not change the optimal allocation. We assume that there...

At a computer store, a customer is considering 10 different computers, 6 different monitors, 9 different printers and 4 different scanners. Assuming that each of the components is compatible with one another and that one of each is to be selected, determine the number of different computer systems possible. There are different computer systems possible.

A Markov process has three states that describe an environment for a shuttle service: state 1 = driving in the city, state 2 = driving in the suburbs, state 3 = driving in the rural area. If the shuttle driver is driving in the city, there is a 50% chance the next passenger pickup assignment will also be in the city. If the shuttle driver is driving in the suburbs, there is a 40% chance the next passenger pickup assignment...
