The system shown here operates only if there is a path of functional components from left to right. The probability that each component functions is shown. Assume that the components function or fail independently. What is the probability that the system operates? 0.889 0.75

Consider the system of components connected as in the accompanying picture. Components 1 and 2 are connected in parallel, so that subsystem works iff either 1 or 2 works; since 3 and 4 are connected in series, that subsystem works iff both 3 and 4 work. If components work independently of one another and P(component i works) = .9 for i = 1,2 and = .8 for i = 3,4, calculate P(system works).
