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

<em />

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

$q = 1 - 0.95$

$q = 0.05$

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

<em>To get an expression for one server</em>

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 $Log0.05$

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

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

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

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

$n = 2.84310893421$

$n = 3 (Approximated)$

<em>Hence, the smallest number of servers required is 3 servers</em>

Which of the following is NOT a long-term storage device?

neonofarm [45]

The storage device which is not a long-term storage device is: D. RAM.

<h3>Types of computer memory.</h3>

In Computer technology, there are two (2) main types of memory or storage location for software program (application) that are being used on a computer and these include the following;

Read only memory (ROM)
Random access memory (RAM)

RAM is an abbreviation for random access memory and it can be defined as a volatile and temporary storage (memory) location that is used for currently opened software program (application) and computer data.

In conclusion, we can reasonably and logically deduce that the storage device which is not a long-term storage device is random access memory (RAM).

Which describes the first step a crawler-based search engine uses to find information?

Orlov [11]

<span>Crawler-based search engines are what most of us are familiar with - mainly because that's what Google and Bing are. These companies develop their own software that enables them to build and maintain searchable databases of web pages (the engine), and to organise those pages into the most valuable and pertinent way to the user.</span>
