Question 1004986: A product is composed of four parts. In order for the product to function properly in a given situation, each of the parts must function. Two of the parts have a 0.83 probability of functioning, and two have a probability of 0.95.



What is the overall probability that the product will function properly? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)

For the product to work, all four probabilities must come to pass, so that
P(working product) = .83*.83*.95*.95 = .6217
