If a web server experiences a power outage independent of network connectivity, which outcome reflects their conditional independence?

💡 Explanation

Conditional independence means knowing about one event (network status) doesn't change the probability of the other (server outage) because their causes are separate. Therefore, server outage remains unaffected by the network state, rather than indicating any causal relationship.

• A security system uses a boolean expression to arm the alarm: (A AND B) OR (NOT C). If a sensor C fails, always reading TRUE, which outcome follows?
• An engineer is designing a compiler that translates regular expressions into finite automata. If the regular expression contains nested quantifiers, which effect dominates during automaton construction?
