Detecting a computer virus attack. Chance (Winter 2004) presented basic methods for detecting virus attacks (e.g., Trojan programs or worms) on a network computer that are sent from a remote host. These viruses reach the network through requests for communication (e.g., e-mail, Web chat, or remote log-in) that are identified as “packets.” For example, the “SYN flood” virus ties up the network computer by “flooding” the network with multiple packets. Cybersecurity experts can detect this type of virus attack if at least one packet is observed by a network sensor. Assume that the

- Explain how you can determine the steady state matrix X of an absorbing Markov chain by inspection.arrow_forwardAn aircraft emergency locator transmitter (ELT) is a device designed to transmit a signal in the case of a crash. The Altigauge Manufacturing Company makes 80% of the ELTS, the Bryant Company makes 15% of them, and the Chartair Company makes the other 5%. The ELTS made by Altigauge have a 4% rate of defects, the Bryant ELTS have a 6% rate of defects, and the Chartair ELTS have a 9% rate of defects (which helps to explain why Chartair has the lowest market share). i) If an ELT is randomly selected from the general population of all ELTS, find the probability that it was made by the Altigauge Manufacturing Company. If a randomly selected ELT is then tested and is found to be ii) defective, find the probability that it was made by the Altigauge Manufacturing Company.arrow_forwardAn aircraft emergency locator transmitter (ELT) is a device designed to transmit a signal in the case of a crash.

- Section 2.2 (77) Frogs have been breeding like flies at the Enormous State University (ESU) campus! Each year, the pledge class of the Epsilon Delta fraternity is instructed to tag all the frogs residing on the ESU campus. Two years ago, they managed to tag all 50,000 of them (with little Epsilon Delta Fraternity tags). This year’s pledge class discovered that last year’s tags had all fallen off, and they wound up tagging a total of 75,000 frogs. a)Find an exponential model for the frog population. b)Assuming exponential population growth and that all this year’s tags have fallen off, how many tags should Epsilon Delta order for next year’s pledge class?arrow_forwardThe viruses causing problems in strawberry plants are mainly spread by one insect, the strawberry aphid. Carly believes that as aphids feed on leaves, they transmit viruses that can cause a rapid decrease in plant growth. She decides to verify whether or not the number of strawberry aphids found on a plant could be linked to its growth. She therefore randomly chooses 5 strawberry plants at the same stage of development in a virus-infested garden. For each individual plant, she first collects all the aphids present on the plant and weighs them, and then weighs the entire plant to have a measure of plant growth. She obtains the following data. (Attach on side) Is Carly correct in thinking that when the number of aphids on a plant is larger, the growth of the plant is affected (i.e., its weight is smaller)? Apply the appropriate statistical method with a test of significance at α = 0.05.arrow_forwardProblem 2 Due to the extreme cost of interrupting production, a manufacturer has two standby machines available in case a particular machine breaks down. The machine in use has a reliability of .94, and the backups have reliabilities of .90 and .80. In the event of a failure, a backup machine is brought into service. If this machine also fails, the other backup is used. Calculate the system reliability.arrow_forward
- Section 3.5 Brent Perry works as a guide and conservationist for an ornithological tourism company, which is part of an emerging industry catering to birders. He recently surveyed the bird populations in some preserved deciduous woodlands in Northern New Jersey. In particular, he was looking for Baltimore Orioles who surprisingly to some have taken up residence in Jersey elms and maples. On five random visits each along five separate and independent mile-long pathways (Trails A through E), he recorded the following numbers of sightings of Baltimore Orioles: Trail A 8 16 8 12 16 Trail B 1 15 9 8 7 Trail C 22 10 16 10 22 Trail D 19 29 24 29 19 Trail E 16 24 16 24 20 He kept other variables about his bird watching as constant as he reasonably could. He wonders if all five pathways provide comparable opportunities to spot these orange-plumed birds. Help Brent with his analysis by completing the following…arrow_forwardA system consists of two components. The probability that the second component functions in a satisfactory manner during its design life is 0.9, the probability that at least one of the two components does so is 0.92, and the probability that both components do so is 0.85. Given that the first component functions in a satisfactory manner throughout its design life, what is the probability that the second one does also?arrow_forwardSection 3.4 Brent Perry works as a guide and conservationist for an ornithological tourism company, which is part of an emerging industry catering to birders.

According to the letter, the disease was due to a virus that a certain group of scientists made, and was initially developed to start a biological warfare among nations. A cure was also made alongside with it and showed that the disease may be controlled. Unfortunately, the cure was secured in a safe in a laboratory and is locked with a code. The safe was locked using the function: f (x) = 3z – 7 You are one of the troop tasked to divulge the code and open the safe. If this is the function used to lock the safe, what would be its inverse function?
