उत्तर

A be the event of availability of a fire B be the event of a fire engine when needed.

Availability of a second fire engine when needed.

Given P(A) = 0.96

P(B) = 0.96

Then `bar"A"` is the event of non-availability of the first fire engine and `bar"B"` is the event of non-availability of second fire engine when needed.

`"P"(bar"A") = 1 - "P"("A")`

= 1 – 0.96

= 0.04

Also P(B) = 0.04

P(atleast one engine is available) = (1 – probability of no engine available)

= 1 – P(A’ ∩ B’)

= 1 – P (A’) P(B’)

= 1 – (0.04) (0.04)

= 1 – 0.0016

= 0.9984
