If no hackers are active, the probability of the website failure is 0.15; If one hacker is active the probability of the website failure is 0.3; if two or more hackers are active the probability of the website failure is 0.5. You conclude that the total probability of website failure on a given day is two decimal place). Assuming there is a failure, the probability no hackers are active is (to (to two decimal places).arrow_forward
