There are six consumers of electric current. The probability that under certain conditions a breakdown will occur that will disconnect one of the consumers is 0.6 for the first consumer, 0.2 for the second, and 0.3 for each of the remaining four. Find the probability that the generator will be FIGURE 7 completely disconnected if (a) all the consumers are connected in series, (b) all the consumers are connected as shown in the scheme (Figure 7).
