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?
ANSWER:Solution:
Step 1 of 4:
It is given that the probability of losing a data packet by a computer network is 0.002 and a lost packet must be resent.
Also, it is given that packet losses are independent.
Using this we need to find the required values.
