A computer virus is trying to corrupt two files. The first file will be corrupted with probability 0.4. Independently of it, the

second file will be corrupted with probability 0.3. (a) Compute the probability mass function (pmf) of X, the number of corrupted files.

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

If another line is perpendicular to the line shown on the graph, what must be its slope
Shtirlitz [24]

It's B

Slope is negative, the other must be positive due to m1 x m2 = - 1

m1 = -2/5

The diagram shows a gradient of -2/5. So, the

reciprocal of this valve to make - 1 is 5/2 (which is the - 2/5 flipped upside down, but positive)

-2/5 x 5/2 = - 10/10 (or - 1)

Thus, the perpendicular line to this has a gradient of 5/2.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

A = 384 inches^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a triangle is given by

A = 1/2 bh  where b is the length of the base and h is the height

A = 1/2 ( 32) *(24)

A = 384 inches^2
