Question 1145453: A system engineer is interested in assessing the reliability of a rocket composed of three stages. At take off, the engine of the first stage of the rocket must lift the rocket off the ground. If that engine accomplishes its task, the engine of the second stage must now lift the rocket into orbit. Once the engines in both stages 1 and 2 have performed successfully, the engine of the third stage is used to complete the rocket’s mission. The reliability of the rocket is measured by the probability of the completion of the mission. If the probabilities of successful performance of the engines of stages 1, 2 and 3 are 0.99, 0.97 and 0.98, respectively, find the reliability of the rocket.

The mission is completed if and only if each and every engine performed successfully.
Since these events are independent, the reliability of the rocket is the product
P = 0.99*0.98*0.97. ANSWER
You calculate the value.
