Part 1
In airline​ applications, failure of a component can result in catastrophe. As a​ result, many airline components utilize something called triple modular redundancy. This means that a critical component has two backup components that may be utilized should the initial component fail. Suppose a certain critical airline component has a probability of failure of 0.0056 and the system that utilizes the component is part of a triple modular redundancy.
​(a) Assuming each​ component's failure/success is independent of the​ others, what is the probability all three components​ fail, resulting in disaster for the​ flight?
​(b) What is the probability at least one of the components does not​ fail?

The probability that all three components fail is 1.756 × 10⁻⁷. The probability of at least one of the components does not​ fail 0.9999998244.

What is a Probability?

Probability is the likelihood for an event to occur. In a given statistical distribution, the probability explains the range of values and probabilities that a randomized variable could have.

From the given information;

Assuming each​ component's failure/success is independent of the​ others: the probability that all three components fail is:

P(three components fail) = (0.0056)^3

P(three components fail) = 1.756 × 10⁻⁷

The probability that at least one does not fail is:

P(at least one does not fail) = 1 - P(all three components fail)

P(at least one does not fail) = 1 - 1.756 × 10⁻⁷

P(at least one does not fail) = 0.9999998244
