Software filters rely heavily on ""blacklists"" (lists of known ""phishing"" URLs) to detect fraudulent e-mails. But such filter

s typically catch only 20 percent of phishing URLs. Jason receives 16 phishing e-mails. (a) What is the expected number that would be caught by such a filter? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) Expected number (b) What is the chance that such a filter would detect none of them? (Round your answer to 5 decimal places.) Probability

Answer:

a) X \sim Binom(n=16, p=0.2)  

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:  

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}  

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:  

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}  

The expected value is given by this formula:

E(X) = np=16*0.2=3.2

b) P(X=0)=(16C0)(0.2)^{0} (1-0.2)^{16-0}=0.02815

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts  

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".  

Part a

Let X the random variable of interest, on this case we now that:  

X \sim Binom(n=16, p=0.2)  

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:  

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}  

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:  

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}  

The expected value is given by this formula:

E(X) = np=16*0.2=3.2

Part b

For this case we want this probability:

P(X=0)

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:  

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}  

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:  

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}  

And using this function we got:

P(X=0)=(16C0)(0.2)^{0} (1-0.2)^{16-0}=0.02815

the function p(t)p(t)p, left parenthesis, t, right parenthesis models the average high temperature, in degrees celsius, of paity
Mnenie [13.5K]

The solution set for the last equation represents the set of all days when the towns have the same average high temperature.

  • The hotness of matter or radiation is expressed by the physical quantity known as temperature. The average air temperature for a specific time period, often a day, a month, or a year, as measured by a thermometer that has been properly exposed.
  • P(t) is the average high temperature, in degrees Celsius, of Paityn's town on t days.

       \begin{aligned} P(t)&=22.5+7.5\cos\left(\dfrac{2\pi (t-28)}{365}\right)\\\\  \end{aligned}

  • V(t) is the average high temperature, in degrees Celsius, of Vince's town on t days.

        \\ V(t)&=30.5+1.5\cos\left(\dfrac{2\pi (t-90)}{365}\right)

  • So, P(t) = V(t) represents the set of all the days when both towns have the same average high temperature.

why mathematics is the very important in a small business? is mathematics is helpful to you? explain​
kodGreya [7K]
Mathematics is very important in a small business is because when you make money transactions with other people you need to know how to count money correctly and your calculations can’t be wrong. Mathematics is definitely helpful to me because Artificial Intelligence is taking on jobs, so we have to step up our game.
