A city uses three pumps to carry water from a river to a reservoir. Pumps A and B are new, and have a probability of failing of 0.015 on any day. Pump C is older, and has a probability of failure of 0.08 on any day.
Pumps A and B operate Monday-Friday. On Saturday, pumps A and C operate while pump B is serviced. On Sunday, pumps B and C operate while pump A is serviced. Answer the following questions, assuming that the pumps operate independently of one another, and independently from day to day.
Determine the probability that pump A works on a day that it is in use.
Find the probability that pumps A and B both fail on a day they are both in use.
Compute the probability that at least one pump fails on any Sunday.
Find the probability that pump A works, and C fails on any Saturday.
Determine the probability that no pumps fail in a week.
