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
