GATE | GATE-CS-2015 (Mock Test) | Question 8

An ISP has a link of 100Mbps which is shared by its subscribers. Considering the fact that all of its subscribers are active 50% of the time and the probabilities of being active are independent, the ISP has promised 25 Mbps to its 6 subscribers. What is the probability that any subscriber gets degraded service (less than promised speed).
(A) 1/32
(B) 5/16
(C) 1/2
(D) 7/64

Answer: (D)

Explanation: The above question is an example of Binomial Experiment.
Any user can be either Online(O) or Offline(F)
$P(O) = \frac{1}{2}$
$P(F) = \frac{1}{2}$
Let $X$ be the Random Variable denoting the number of users online. The users get degraded service when $X=5$ or $X=6$ ,
$= P(X>4) \\ = P(X=5) + P(X=6) \\ = C(6,5) * P(O)^5 * P(F)^1 + C(6,6) * P(O)^6\\ = 6 * \frac{1}{2}^5 * \frac{1}{2}^1 + 1 * \frac{1}{2}^6\\ = \frac{7}{2^6}\\ = 7/64$
