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%.

Lana71 [14]

Answer:

391,660.6

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to do what is in the parentheses. 56/23 equals 2.4. 4234 + 2.4 is 4236.4...  4236.4 times 94 is 398,221.6... Now 9 to the fourth power is 6561. x + 6561 is 398,221.6 so x equals 391,660.6... I hope this helps and please make me the brainliest. Thanks!

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is
jonny [76]

Answer:

- \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

How do we find the line that's perpendicular to another?

We find the negative reciprocal. So for example if our slope is 2, the negative reciprocal would be - \frac{1}{2}.
