In a cellular phone system, a mobile phone must be paged to receive a phone call. However, paging attempts don’t always succeed

Alina [70]

Answer:

The correct response will be "0.992". The further explanation to the following question is given below.

Explanation:

The probability that paging would be beneficial becomes 0.8

Effective paging at the very first attempted is 0.8

On the second attempt the success probability will be:

⇒ $0.2\times 0.8$

⇒ $0.16$

On the third attempt the success probability will be:

⇒ $0.2\times 0.2\times 0.8$

⇒ $0.032$

So that the success probability will be:

⇒ $0.8 + 0.16 + 0.032$

⇒ $0.992$
