Your assistance is needto compute this question that includes Marginalprobability.

A certain airplane has two independent alternators to provideelectrical power. The probability
that a given alternator will fail on a 1-hour flight is .02. Whatis the probability that (a) both will
fail? (b) Neither will fail? (c) One or the other willfail? Thanks inadvance Zsa-Zsa Your assistance is needto compute this question that includes Marginalprobability.

Explanation / Answer

probability that a given alternator will fail on a 1-hourflight = .02 total probability is always equal to 1 hence, probability that a given alternator will not failon a 1-hour flight = 1- 0.02 = 0.98 hence, the probability that (a) both will fail = .02 x .02 = 0.0004 (b) Neither will fail = 0.98 x 0.98 =0.9604 (c) One or the other will fail = 2 x 0.02 x 0.98 = 0.0392 hope your query is solved. please rate my answer hope your query is solved. please rate my answer
