Question

Askiitians Expert Soumyajit IIT-Kharagpur · Answer

Dear Shubham,

Ans:- The prob that the instrument will fail=1- prob that it would not fail

Now the prob that it would not fail=prob that the three parts ABC work together=(0.85)*(0.95)*(0.9)=0.72675

Hence the required prob is=1 - 0.72675=0.27325(ans)
