An e-mail message can travel through one of two server routes. The probability of transmission error in each of the servers and the proportion of messages that travel each route are shown in the following table. Assume that the servers are independent. Probability of Error Percentage of Messages | Server 1 | Server 2 | Server 3 | Server 4 Route 1 | 30 | 0.01 | 0.025 | — | — Route 2 | 70 | — | — | 0.02 | 0.017 (a) What is the probability that a message will arrive without error? (b) If a message arrives in error, what is the probability it was sent through route 1?

An e-mail message can travel through one of two server routes. The probability of transmission error in each of the servers and the proportion of messages that travel each route are given in the following table. Assume that the servers are independent. Probability of getting an error % of traffic Server 1 Server 2 Server 3 Server 4 Route A 25 0.01 0.007 0 0 Route B 75 0 0 0.005 0.008 [10 pts] Draw a probability tree, mark carefully all the branches and corresponding probabilities [5 pts] What is a probability that a message will arrive with error? [5 pts] What is a probability that a messenger will arrive error-free?

A congested computer network has a 0.002 probability of losing a data packet, and packet losses are independent events. A lost packet must be resent. (a) What is the probability that an e-mail message with 100 packets will need to be resent? (b) What is the probability that an e-mail message with 3 packets will need exactly 1 to be resent? (c) If 10 e-mail messages are sent, each with 100 packets, what is the probability that at least 1 message will need some packets to be resent?
