Suppose that the space shuttle has three separate computer control systems: the main system and two backup duplicates of it. The first backup would monitor the main system and kick in if the main system failed. Similarly, the second backup would monitor the first. We can assume that a failure of one system is independent of a failure of another system, since the systems are separate. The probability of failure for any one system on any one mission is known to be 0.01. (a) Find the probability that the shuttle is left with no computer control system on a mission. (Enter your answer to six decimal places.)
(b) How many backup systems does the space shuttle need if the probability that the shuttle is left with no computer control system on a mission must be
1
one hundred thousand
(Enter your answer as a whole number.)
backup systems.

In δabc shown below, ∠bac is congruent to ∠bca: triangle abc, where angles a and c are congruent given: base ∠bac and ∠acb are congruent. prove: δabc is an isosceles triangle. when completed (fill in the blanks), the following paragraph proves that line segment ab is congruent to line segment bc making δabc an isosceles triangle. (4 points) construct a perpendicular bisector from point b to line segment ac . label the point of intersection between this perpendicular bisector and line segment ac as point d: m∠bda and m∠bdc is 90° by the definition of a perpendicular bisector. ∠bda is congruent to ∠bdc by the definition of congruent angles. line segment ad is congruent to line segment dc by by the definition of a perpendicular bisector. δbad is congruent to δbcd by the line segment ab is congruent to line segment bc because consequently, δabc is isosceles by definition of an isosceles triangle. 1. corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent (cpctc) 2. the definition of a perpendicular bisector 1. the definition of a perpendicular bisector 2. the definition of congruent angles 1. the definition of congruent angles 2. the definition of a perpendicular bisector 1. angle-side-angle (asa) postulate 2. corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent (cpctc)
