Question 1019021: A homeowner finds that there is a 0.15 probability that a flashlight does not work when turned on.
1.If she has three flashlights, find the probability that at least one of them works when there is a power failure.
2. Find the probability that the second flashlight works given that the first flashlight works. Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Look at the possible outcomes.
First one, none work.
For all others, at least one works.
So if I calculate the probability that none work, I can find the probability that at least one works.
So then,

It's the same whether one works or not since they're independent events.
