<PRE><B>Question 146423</B>
A certain airplane has two independent alternators to provide electrical power. The probability that a given alternator will fail on a 1-hour flight is .02. What is that 
(a) P(both will fail) = 0.02^2 0.0004
-----------
(b) P(Neither will fail) = 0.08^2 = 0.0064
----------- 

(c) P(One or the other will fail) = 1-(0.0004+0.0064) = 0.9932
====================
