Suppose that three components in a certain system each function with probability p and fail with probability 1-p , each components operating or failing independently of the others. But the system is in a random environment so that p is itself a random variable. Suppose that p is uniformly distributed over the interval (0,1]. The system operates if at least two of the components operate. What is the probability that the system operates ?

To find the probability that the system operates we need to consider the different cases in which th... View the full answer
