question

A disadvantage of the contention approach for LANs, such as CSMA/CD, is the capacity wasted due to multiple stations attempting to access the channel at the same time. Suppose that time is divided into discrete slots, with each of 5 stations attempting to transmit with probability 0.35 during each slot. What fraction of slots is wasted due to multiple simultaneous transmission attempts?
