Problem 12TE
There are n components lined up in a linear arrangement. Suppose that each component independently functions with probability p. What is the probability that no 2 neighboring components are both nonfunctional?
ANSWER:
Solution:
Step 1 of 2:
It is given that there are n components lined up in a linear arrangement and p is the probability that each component functions independently.
Using this we need to find the probability that no two neighbouring components are non functional.
