down”, while system B has just a 5% chance of being “down”. The computer systems operate independently. For a typical telephone order, determine the following: 6.1) What is the probability that neither computer system will be operational (rounded off to three decimals)? 6.2) What is the probability that both systems will be operational (rounded off to three decimals)?
Question 6
A firm has two computer systems available for processing telephone orders. At any given time, system A has a 10% chance of being “down”, while system B has just a 5% chance of being “down”. The computer systems operate independently.
For a typical telephone order, determine the following:
6.1) What is the probability that neither computer system will be operational (rounded off to three decimals)?
6.2) What is the probability that both systems will be operational (rounded off to three decimals)?
6.3) What is the probability that exactly one of the computer systems will be operational (rounded off to three decimals)?
6.3) What is the probability that the order can be processed without delay (rounded off to three decimals)?
