Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
When we compare positive fractions with the same numerator, the largest rational number will be the fraction with the lowest denominator
In this problem we have
and
Both numerator are equal
Compare the denominators
therefore
is the largest rational number
Answer: 0.82
Step-by-step explanation:
The probability of the computer not containing neither a virus nor a worm is expressed as P(∩
) , where P(
) is the probability that the event V doesn't happen and P(
) is the probability that the event W doesn't happen.
P()= 1-P(V) = 1-0.17 = 0.83
P()=1-P(W) = 1-0.05 = 0.95
Since and
aren't mutually exclusive events, then:
P(∪
) = P(
) + P(
) - P(
∩
)
Isolating the probability that interests us:
P(∩
)= P(
) + P(
) - P(
∪
)
Where P(∪
) = 1 - 0.04 = 0.96
Finally:
P(∩
) = 0.83 + 0.95 - 0.96 = 0.82
