Missions to Mars have been sent by multiple countires. Of all missions
between 1999-2023, 64% were from the USA, 12% from the ESA, 12%
from China, 6% from UAE, and 6% from India. The success rate
associated with each country is 82% (USA), 0% (ESA), 50% (China), 100%
(UAE), and 100% (India), respectively. What is the probability that a
randomly chosen mission within the 1999-2023 timeframe would have
succeed?
Problem #2.
