Answer:

P(X = 0) = 0.42

P(X = 1) = 0.46

P(X = 2) = 0.12

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities:

40% probability that the first file is corrupted. So 60% probability that the first file is not corrupted.

30% probability that the second file is corrupted. So 70% probability that the second file is not corrupted.

Probability mass function

Probability of each outcome(0, 1 and 2 files corrupted).

No files corrupted:

60% probability that the first file is not corrupted.

70% probability that the second file is not corrupted.

So

P(X = 0) = 0.6*0.7 = 0.42

One file corrupted:

First one corrupted, second no.

40% probability that the first file is corrupted.

70% probability that the second file is not corrupted.

First one ok, second one corrupted.

60% probability that the first file is not corrupted.

30% probability that the second file is corrupted.

P(X = 1) = 0.4*0.7 + 0.6*0.3 = 0.46

Two files corrupted:

40% probability that the first file is corrupted.

30% probability that the second file is corrupted.

P(X = 2) = 0.4*0.3 = 0.12

How did you compute sums of dollar amounts that were not whole numbers? For example, how did you compute the sum of$5.89 and$1.4
nignag [31]

Answer:

$7.34

Step-by-step explanation:

To compute sum of dollars that are not whole numbers. Using the sum of$5.89 and$1.45 as an illustration :

$5.89 + $1.45

Taking the whole numbers first:

$5 + $1 = $6

Take the sum of the decimals :

$0.89 + $0.45 = $1.34

Sum initial whole + whole of sum of decimal

$6 + $1 = $7

Remaining decimal : $1.34 - $1 = $0.34

$7 + $0.34 = $7.34
