A)0.088
B)0.045
C)0.040
D)0.002

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The probability of system failure in a parallel system is the product of the probabilities of individual component failures. The failure probabilities are 0.05 (1-0.95) and 0.04 (1-0.96), so the system failure probability is 0.05 * 0.04 = 0.002.
