Chapter 3, Problem 3.67

(choose chapter or problem)

An engineering system consisting of n componentsis said to be a k-out-of-n system (k n)if the system functions if and only if at leastk of the n components function. Suppose thatall components function independently of eachother.(a) If the ith component functions with probabilityPi, i = 1, 2, 3, 4, compute the probabilitythat a 2-out-of-4 system functions.(b) Repeat part (a) for a 3-out-of-5 system.(c) Repeat for a k-out-of-n system when all the Piequal p (that is, Pi = p, i = 1, 2, . . . , n).
