You can put this solution on YOUR website! A school has two backup generators having probabilities of 0.9 and 0.95, respectively , of operating in case of power outage. find the probability that at least one backup generator operates during a power outage
----
P(both fail) = 0.1*0.05 = 0.005
----------------------
P(at least one operates) = 1- P(both fail) = 1-0.005 = 0.995
