Question 1114333: Three components are randomly sampled, one at a time, from a large lot. As each component is selected, it is tested. If it passes the test, a success (S) occurs; if it fails the test, a failure (F) occurs. Assume that 84% of the components in the lot will succeed in passing the test. Let X represent the number of successes among the three sampled components.
Find P(SFS) and P(SSF).
P(SFS) = and P(SSF) =
