i try to solve it like this: (0.07 + 0.14) - (0.07 * 0.14) = 0.2002 1-0.2002 = 0.7998 0.05*0.03 = 0.0015 1-0.0015 = 0.9985 0.7998 * 0.9985 = 0.7986

i don't think this answer is correct could any one help me please?

OpenStudy (mrnood):

for the system to 'function' you need a working path from start to finish. You have three 'serial' features, but 1 of them is a 'parallel' option Parallel means 'OR' (because either one OR the other can be functional and you will still have a path) Serial means 'AND' (because ALL sections must function for a path to exist) SO Write a logical statement like A OR B AND (C OR D) (I said 'like' this - this is not correct) You can then work out the probability of that statement from the individual propabilities.

you can draw up a table of possible outcomes: abcd ----- ssss sssf ssfs sfss fsss ssff sfsf fssf sffs fsfs ffss fffs ffsf fsff sfff ffff ------------------------------ now: if a or b fails, the whole thing fails; if both c and d fail, the whole thing fails ssss sssf ssfs sfss = f fsss = f ssff = f sfsf = f fssf = f sffs = f fsfs = f ffss = f fffs = f ffsf = f fsff = f sfff = f ffff = f ----------------------------- this leaves us with 3 cases in which it succeeds: ssss sssf ssfs add up the probabilities of those cases ....
