a. f (12) = .1144
b. f (16) = .1304
c. P(x  16) = f (16) + f (17) + f (18) + f (19) + f (20)
= .1304 + .0716 + .0278 + .0068 + .0008 = .2374
d. P(x  15) = 1 - P (x  16) = 1 - .2374 = .7626
e. E(x) = n p = 20(.7) = 14
f. Var(x) = n p (1 - p) = 20 (.7) (.3) = 4.2
 = 4.2 = 2.0494

P(at least 1) = 1 – f(0)
2!
f (0)  (.9)0 (.1) 2  .01
0! 2!
Therefore, P(at least 1) = 1 - .01 = .99
c. P(at least 1) = 1 - f (0)
3!
f (0)  (.9)0 (.1)3  .001
0! 3!
Therefore, P(at least 1) = 1 - .001 = .999
d. Yes; P(at least 1) becomes very close to 1 with multiple systems and the inability to detect
an attack would be catastrophic.
