Probability-and-statistics/347660: At least one-half of an airplane's engines are required to function in order for it to operate. If each engine independently functions with probability .8, is a 4-engine plane more likely to operate than a 2-engine plane? 1 solutions Answer 248500 by Fombitz(13828)   on 2010-09-24 13:31:00 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! I think the question you're asking is "Is it more likely (probable) that you will operate the plane on 2 engines rather than 4 engines". Because you already stated that a 4 engine plane operates just like a 2 engine plane, so they both operate. With four engines, the possible engine failures, there are configurations with 2 good engines and 2 bad engines from . The probability is higher that you will be operating on 4 engines rather than 2. Surprisingly, P(1 failed)=P(0 failed).
