A mainframe computer in a university crashes on the average 0.71 time in a semester. What is the probability that it will crash at least two times in a given semester? What is the probability that it will not crash at all in a given semester? The MIS administrator wants to increase the probability of no crash at all in a semester to at least 90%. What is the largest ? that will achieve this goal?
