Consider a system of water flowing through valves from A
Chapter 3, Problem 4E(choose chapter or problem)
Consider a system of water flowing through valves from A to B. (See the accompanying diagram.) Valves 1, 2, and 3 operate independently, and each correctly opens on signal with probability .8. Find the probability distribution for Y , the number of open paths from A to B after the signal is given. (Note that Y can take on the values 0, 1, and 2.)

QUESTION:
Consider a system of water flowing through valves from A to B. (See the accompanying diagram.) Valves 1, 2, and 3 operate independently, and each correctly opens on signal with probability .8. Find the probability distribution for Y , the number of open paths from A to B after the signal is given. (Note that Y can take on the values 0, 1, and 2.)
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 2
Given,
We have a system of water flow From A to B.
Here, 1, 2, and 3 are operated independently
P(correctly opens on signal) = 0.80
The claim is to find the probability that the distribution of Y, the number of open paths from A to B after the signal is given.
