Question:

In New South Wales, each adult on the electoral roll has a 10% of being called up for jury duty in any year. A company has 25 employees on the electoral roll.

What is the probability that more than two employees are called up for jury duty in any year?


Answer:

This question can be solved by using binomial distribution formula. 





So probability that more than two employees are called up for jury duty in any year is 0.4629.

For any further queries regarding above explanation please comment below. Thank you!

Superposition Theorem Requirement: Power System is a complex network having number of voltage and current sources and number of loads. Now to analyze the network we need to find voltage/current at particular branch or load.  In such cases calculations for thevenin's and norton's theorem becomes difficult. We can use superposition theorem to find voltage/current at any branch or load in complex network. In this theorem only one source considered at a time and total voltage/current is sum of voltage/current obtained by considering individual source.   Statement of Superposition Theorem:

(Solved) An LVDT is connected to an amplifier of gain 250 the output terminals of which are connected to a 5 V voltmeter. The meter's scale can be read to 1/5th of a division and has 100 divisions in all. Given that a core displacement of 0.5 mm provides an output of 2 mV from the LVDT, find, 1. The sensitivity of the LVDT 2. The sensitivity of the whole system 3. The resolution of the instrument in centimeters

 Question : An LVDT is connected to an amplifier of gain 250 the output terminals of which are connected to a 5 V voltmeter. The meter's scale can be read to 1/5th of a division and has 100 divisions in all. Given that a core displacement of 0.5 mm provides an output of 2 mV from the LVDT, find,  1. The sensitivity of the LVDT  2. The sensitivity of the whole system  3. The resolution of the instrument in centimeters Explanation : (a) Sensitivity of LVDT = Output voltage /displacement  Sensitivity of LVDT = 2mV/0.5 mm = 4 mV/mm (b)Sensitivity of whole setup = amplification factor*sensitivity of LVDT  Sensitivity of whole setup = 250*(4 mV/mm) = 1000 mV/mm (c) The resolution of the instrument in centimeters = minimum voltage that can be read by instrument /sensitivity of whole setup  There are 100 divisions to measure upto 5V.  So 1 division can read 5/100 = 0.05V Scale can read 1/5 of a division.  So minimum voltage that can be read = 0.05/5 ...
