Suppose a certain computer virus can enter a system through an email or through a webpage. There is a 40% chance of receiving th

is virus through the email. There is a 35% chance of receiving it through the webpage. These are not mutually exclusive: the virus enters the system simultaneously by both email and webpage with a probability of 0.17. What is the probability that the virus does not enter the system at all? Enter your answer in decimal form

Answer:

P = 0.42

Step-by-step explanation:

This probability problem can be solved by building a Venn like diagram for each probability.

I say that we have two sets:

-Set A, that is the probability of receiving this virus through the email.

-Set B, that is the probability of receiving it through the webpage.

The most important information in these kind of problems is the intersection. That is, that he virus enters the system simultaneously by both email and webpage with a probability of 0.17. It means that A \cap B = 0.17.

By email only

The problem states that there is a 40 chance of receiving it through the email. It means that we have the following equation:

A + (A \cap B) = 0.40

A + 0.17 = 0.40

A = 0.23

where A is the probability that the system receives the virus just through the email.

The problem states that there is a 40% chance of receiving it through the email. 23% just through email and 17% by both the email and the webpage.

By webpage only

There is a 35% chance of receiving it through the webpage. With this information, we have the following equation:

B + (A \cap B) = 0.35

B + 0.17 = 0.35

B = 0.18

where B is the probability that the system receives the virus just through the webpage.

The problem states that there is a 35% chance of receiving it through the webpage. 18% just through the webpage and 17% by both the email and the webpage.

What is the probability that the virus does not enter the system at all?

So, we have the following probabilities.

- The virus does not enter the system: P

- The virus enters the system just by email: 23% = 0.23

- The virus enters the system just by webpage: 18% = 0.18

- The virus enters the system both by email and by the webpage: 17% = 0.17.

The sum of the probabilities is 100% = 1. So:

P + 0.23 + 0.18 + 0.17 = 1

P = 1 - 0.58

P = 0.42

There is a probability of 42% that the virus does not enter the system at all.

Mama L [17]

Answer:

729 cubic meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of cube is given by side^3

where side is length of the side

Given in the problem

side is 9 meters as length, width, and height of fort is 9 meters and it is in cube shape .

Thus,

volume of cube = 9^3 = 9*9*9 = 729

Thus, volume of Haley's fort is 729 cubic meters.

Please help and thank you
ycow [4]

Answer:

D) 130 workers

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation, <em>y = 2x + 40</em>, and <em>y, 300</em> (since the y-coordinate represents the # of bottles made), so we can solve for x, <em>the number of workers needed</em>.

Substitute: <em>300 = 2x + 40</em>

Subtract: <em>260 = 2x</em>

Divide: <em>x = 130</em>

Since x = 130 when y = 300, 130 workers are required to make 300 bottles in a day.

Sophie [7]

Answer:

The first one is a line because a line extends infinitely in both directions which the arrows indicate.

The second one is a plane since it is a 2-dimensional shape.

The last one depicts 2 rays because rays have one endpoint, but extend infinitely in the other direction.
