Answer:

The probability that the web site is up is 0.84 = 84%.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each web server, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is working, or it is not. The probability of a web server being working is independent of any other web server, which meas that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Either file server works with a probability of 0.6.

This means that p = 0.6

Two servers.

This means that n = 2

The probability that the web site is up is

At least one server working, which is:

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{2,0}.(0.6)^{0}.(0.4)^{2} = 0.16

Then

P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.16 = 0.84

The probability that the web site is up is 0.84 = 84%.

ASAP PLS HELP DUE TODAY. WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST IF A GOOD ANSWER EXPLENATION AND CORRECT ANSWER
aniked [119]

Answer:

7 + (-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

7 - 8

(a): Write as additive inverse.

An additive inverse is of the form a + (-b)

In this case:

a = 7

b = -8

So, the expression can be represented as:

7 + (-8)

(b): Number line representation

When the expression in (a) is solved.

The result is:

7 - 8 = 7 + (-8) = -1

This means that the number line must accommodate 7 and -1.

Having said that, options (b) and (c) are out because their range is 0 to 15 and this excludes -1.

Option (d) is a wrong representation of 7 - 8

Hence, (a) is correct
