A possible recall of chart-topping car in the world is now a major concern of its manufacturer. The issues of this car are from defects on its systems; 0.20 failure is probable from the brake system, a probability of 0.30 from power-transmission failure, a 0.10 probability from fuel system malfunctioning, and a defect of 0.30 in some parts of the car. What is the likelihood that the problem is the fuel system or the power-transmission if these two systems fail with a probability of 0.30 simultaneously?
