Question

duplext s 5. The configuration of a particular computer terminal consists of a baud-rate setting, a duplex setting, and a parity setting. There are 15 possible baud-rate setting, two parity setting (even or odd), two duplex setting (half or full) How many configurations are possible for this terminal? A line surge occurs that causes these settings to change at random. What is the probability that the resulting configuration willhave even parity and be full duplex? b. How many configuntions avo parity setting (even or

Explanation / Answer

a) Total number of configurations possible here would be:

= Total number of possible settings for baud-rate setting * Total number of settings possible for duplex setting * Total number of settings possible for parity settings

= 15*2*2

= 60

Therefore there are a total of 60 possible configurations for the terminal.

b) Number of settings with even parity and full duplex is given as

= 15

because for each even parity, full duplex settings there are 15 baud-rate settings. Therefore the required probability here is computed as:

= Number of settings with even parity and full duplex / Total number of settings possible

= 15 / 60

= 0.25

Therefore 0.25 is the required probability here.
