Let V be the event that a computer contains a virus, and let W be the event that a computer contains a worm. Suppose P(V) = 0.17

, P(W) = 0.05 , and P(V and W) = 0.04 . What is the probability that the computer contains neither a virus nor a worm?

Answer: 0.82

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of the computer not containing neither a virus nor a worm is expressed as P(V^{C}∩W^{C}) , where P(V^{C}) is the probability that the event V doesn't happen and P(W^{C}) is the probability that the event W doesn't happen.

P(V^{C})= 1-P(V) = 1-0.17 = 0.83

P(W^{C})=1-P(W) = 1-0.05 = 0.95

Since V^{C} and W^{C} aren't mutually exclusive events, then:

P(V^{C}∪W^{C}) = P(V^{C}) + P(W^{C}) - P(V^{C}∩W^{C})

Isolating the probability that interests us:

P(V^{C}∩W^{C})= P(V^{C}) + P(W^{C}) - P(V^{C}∪W^{C})

Where P(V^{C}∪W^{C}) = 1 - 0.04 = 0.96

Finally:

P(V^{C}∩W^{C}) = 0.83 + 0.95 - 0.96 = 0.82
