An article in Fire Technology, 2014 (50.3) studied the effectiveness of sprinklers in firecontrol by the number of sprinklers that activate correctly. The researchers estimate the probability of a sprinkler to activate correctly to be 0.7. Suppose that you are an inspector hired to write a safety report for a large ballroom with 10 sprinklers. Assume the sprinklers activate correctly or not independently.
(a) What is the probability that all of the sprinklers will operate correctly in a fire? Round your answer to three decimal places (e. g. 98.765)
(b) What is the probability that at least 7 of the sprinklers will operate correctly in a fire? Round your answer to two decimal places (e. g. 98.76),
(c) What is the minimum number of sprinklers needed so that the probability that at least one operates correctly is at least 0.98?

You drop a rubber ball off the roof of a 50 meter high building onto a paved parking lot. it bounces back up with every bounce, but not quite all the way back up to you. after the first bounce it bounces back only 80 percent of the distance it was dropped from. the pattern continues, meaning after every bounce it comes up to just 80 percent of the previous maximum height. so if before the first bounce the height is 50 meters, what height does the ball reach after the fifth bounce? round your answer to one decimal place and chose the correct response from the choices below:
