Answer:
The distribution of the components of the guidance system can be described using the Binomial distribution.
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose that the guidance system consists of n components.
It is provided that the system will function properly as long as at least one of the n components are functional.
Also, all the components operate independently of each other.
The probability that a component is operating successfully is 0.90.
Every component has the same probability of success and failures.
Thus, the components of the guidance systems follows a Binomial distribution with parameters, sample size, n and probability of success, p = 0.90.
A binomial distribution is a discrete probability distribution where each sample has exactly two outcomes; Success and Failure.
And every sample has the same probability of success.
Thus, the distribution of the components of the guidance system can be described using the Binomial distribution.
