Question
Hospitals typically require backup generators to pro de electrotyin the event o a power outage Assume that emergency backup generators tal 32% of the times a. Find the probability that both generators fail during a power outage. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. Find the probablity of having a working generator in the event of a power outage, Is that probablity high enough for the hospital? Assume the hospital needs both at power is available if one of them fails during a power outage. Complete parts (a) and (b) below generators to fail less than 1% of the time when needed (Round to four decimal places as needed.) is that probablity high enough for the hospital? Select the correct answer below and. if necessary, il in the answer box to complete your choice 0 A Yes, because both generators fail about % of the time they are needed, which is low enough to not impact the health of patients O B No, because both generators fail about % of the time they are needed. Gren the importance of the hospita's needs. the reliability should be O C. Yes, because it is impossible for both generators to fail Round to the nearest whole number as needed) (Round to the nearest whole number as needed) Click to select your answer(s)Explanation / Answer
A) P(both generators are fail) = 0.32 * 0.32 = 0.1024
B) P(having a working generator) = 0.68 * 0.32 + 0.32 * 0.68 = 0.4352
Option-B is the correct answer.
