New spark plugs have just been installed in a small airplane with a two-cylinder engine. For each spark plug, the probability that it is defective and will fail during its first 35 minutes of flight is 1/10,000, independent of the other spark plugs. (a) For any given spark plug, what is the probability that it will not fail during the first 35 minutes of flight

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.9999 or 99.99%

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability that it doesn't fail will be 1 minus the probability that it fails.

1 - P(fail)

= 1 - 1/10000

= 1-0.0001

= 9999/10000

=0.9999

= 99.99%
