Problem

A machine contains three independent components A, BA,\,B and CC. The machine operates only if every component operates. (i) Given P(A)=0.90,  P(B)=0.95P(A)=0.90,\;P(B)=0.95 and P(C)=0.92P(C)=0.92, find the probability that the machine operates. (ii) Find the probability that the machine fails to operate. (iii) Calculate the probability that exactly one component fails during a run of the machine.
