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%.

What is the volume of a sphere with a diameter of 9.9 cm, rounded to the nearest
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

the volume of the sphere is 507.78981 cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the volume of the sphere is given below:

Given that

The Diameter is 9.9 cm

So, the volume of the sphere is

= 4 ÷ 3 ×π × r^3

= 4 ÷ 3 × 3.14 × 9.9 ÷ 2^3

= 4 ÷ 3 × 3.14 × 4.95^3

= 507.78981 cm^3

Here r denotes the radius

And, the radius would be comes by dividing the diameter from 2

Hence, the volume of the sphere is 507.78981 cm^3
