Question:
A gas-fired power plant contains four generation units, each of which can generate 100 MW of electricity. Three generating units must operate continually while the fourth must be in active standby in order to ensure that the network has an appropriate supply of electricity.
Find the likelihood that three units will still be operational four years after installation if the failure rateλ for each generating unit is 0.05 per year using the binomial expansion of (F + R)^n.
