(1)  P = P(1st yes, 2nd yes, 3rd no) + P(1st yes, 2nd no, 3rd yes) + P(1st no, 2nd yes, 3rd yes) = 

       =   0.15   * 0.16*   (1-0.17) +   0.15 * (1-0.16) * 0.17    + (1-0.15) * 0.16   * 0.17    = 0.06446.   



(2)  P = P(1st yes, 2nd yes, 3rd no) + P(1st yes, 2nd no, 3rd yes) + P(1st no, 2nd yes, 3rd yes) +  P(all 3 yes)  = 

       =   0.15   * 0.16*   (1-0.17) +   0.15 * (1-0.16) * 0.17    + (1-0.15) * 0.16   * 0.17    + 0.15*0.16*0.17 = 0.06854.
