Oxnard Casualty wants to ensure that their e-mail server has 99.98 percent reliability. They will use several independent server

sattari [20]

Answer:

The smallest number of servers required is 3 servers

Explanation:

Given

$Reliability = 99.98\%$

$Individual Servers = 95\%$

Required

Minimum number of servers needed

Let p represent the probability that a server is reliable and the probability that it wont be reliable be represented with q

Such that

$p = 95\%\\$

It should be noted that probabilities always add up to 1;

So,

$p + q = 1$ '

Subtract p from both sides

$p - p + q = 1 - p$

$q = 1 - p$

Substitute $p = 95\%\\$

$q = 1 - 95\%$

Convert % to fraction

$q = 1 - \frac{95}{100}$

Convert fraction to decimal

$q = 1 - 0.95$

$q = 0.05$

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To get an expression for one server

The probabilities of 1 servers having 99.98% reliability is as follows;

$p = 99.98\%$

Recall that probabilities always add up to 1;

So,

$p + q = 1$

Subtract q from both sides

$p + q - q = 1 - q$

$p = 1 - q$

So,

$p = 1 - q = 99.98\%$

$1 - q = 99.98\%$

Let the number of servers be represented with n

The above expression becomes

$1 - q^n = 99.98\%$

Convert percent to fraction

$1 - q^n = \frac{9998}{10000}$

Convert fraction to decimal

$1 - q^n = 0.9998$

Add $q^n$ to both sides

$1 - q^n + q^n= 0.9998 + q^n$

$1 = 0.9998 + q^n$

Subtract 0.9998 from both sides

$1 - 0.9998 = 0.9998 - 0.9998 + q^n$

$1 - 0.9998 = q^n$

$0.0002 = q^n$

Recall that $q = 0.05$

So, the expression becomes

$0.0002 = 0.05^n$

Take Log of both sides

$Log(0.0002) = Log(0.05^n)$

From laws of logarithm $Loga^b = bLoga$

So,

$Log(0.0002) = Log(0.05^n)$ becomes

$Log(0.0002) = nLog(0.05)$

Divide both sides by $Log0.05$

$\frac{Log(0.0002)}{Log(0.05)} = \frac{nLog(0.05)}{Log(0.05)}$

$\frac{Log(0.0002)}{Log(0.05)} = n$

$n = \frac{Log(0.0002)}{Log(0.05)}$

$n = \frac{-3.69897000434}{-1.30102999566}$

$n = 2.84310893421$

$n = 3 (Approximated)$

Hence, the smallest number of servers required is 3 servers

Answer:

Spyware

Explanation:

Internet is a type of computer network that allow device communicate with each other world wide. So, it is not the correct option.

Worm: this is a standalone malware computer program that replicates itself in order to spread to other computers. It spreads copies of itself from computer to computer. A worm can replicate itself without any human interaction, and it does not need to attach itself to a software program in order to cause damage. The major feature of a worm is ability to replicate on it own. So, it is not the correct option.

Bot: this is a software application that runs automated tasks. So, it is not the correct option.

Middleware: this is software that lies between an operating system and the applications running on it, enabling communication and data management. It provides services to software applications beyond those available from the operating system. So, it is not the correct option.

Spyware: this is the correct answer. Spyware is similar to trojan horse because it hides itself in a system and a user may not know that it exist on the system. Spyware is a form of malware that hides on your device, monitors your activity, and steals sensitive information without knowledge of the user.
