(e) Suppose that the probability that the witch planted peppers is as given in the paragraph at the beginning of this problem and that exactly one of the other two probabilities in the paragraph is correct as well (you get to choose which one you assume is correct, just tell me which one). If whether the witch planted peppers is independent of whether she plants celery, what is the probability that she also planted celery?

You ask a neighbor to water a sickly plant while you are on vacation. Without water, the plant will die with a probability of 0.9. With water, it will die with a probability of 0.55. You are 86 % certain the neighbor will remember to water the plant.When you are on vacation, find the probability that the plant will die.Answer: You come back from the vacation and the plant is dead. What is the probability the neighbor forgot to water it?Answer:
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?
