Timely patching is important for server security. Suppose an organization has 3 servers. Two of them have been patched, while one of them still remains unpatched. The prob- ability an unpatched server gets compromised is, and the probability that a patched server get compromised is p. If an attacker randomly attacks one of the three servers, the probability he compromises the server is. (a) What is the value of p? (b) This time the attacker randomly chose two servers to attack, and observed only one of them got compromised. What is the conditional probability that both attacked servers are patched?
