Answer: B4. If each of two independent file servers has a reliability of 93% and either alone can run the web site, then the overall web site availability isA) 0.9951B) 0.8649C) 0.9300D) 0.9522Answer: AP ( A) = .93 P (B) = .93 P (A ∩ B ) = .93*.93 = .8649P (A U B ) = P (A) + P (B) - P (A ∩ B )= .93 + .93 - .8649= .9951Use the following to answer 5 - 95. P(V ) is approximatelyA) .20B) .40C) .50D) .80Answer: DP ( V ) = = .2Hence P ( V') = 1- P (V)= 1 - .2= .86. P(W S) is approximatelyA) .12B) .30C) .40D) .58Answer: AP ( W ∩ S ) = = .127. P(A M) is approximatelyA) .25B) .50C) .625D) .125Answer: CP(A M) = P (A) + P ( M) - P ( A ∩...
