1. Is there a single point of failure in this system? 2. Determine the cut set consists this fault 3. What is the the probability of the top event occurring is (to 2 significant figures) 4. If gates B and D were both changed to AND Gates (that is all the gates in the fault tree were AND gates) what would the exact probability of the top event occurring be?
