3 A break in an electric circuit (event A) will occur if at least one of the three independent components C₁, C2, C3, connected in series is out of order. Calculate the probability of the event A that the break will occur, provided components' failures may take place with respective probabilities P(F₁) = 0.1, P(F₂) = 0.3, and P(F3) = 0.6. (F₁, F2, F3 denote the events that the respective components C₁, C₂, C3 fail.) Hint: Calculate the probability that none of the components fail (events F₁, F₂, F3), use independence to find P(AC). Then find P(A).

It costs $6.75 to play a very simple game, in which a dealer gives you one card from a deck of 52 cards. If the card is a heart, spade, or diamond, you lose. If the card is a club other than the queen of clubs, you win $10.50. If the card is the queen of clubs, you win $49.00. The random variable x represents your net gain from playing this game once, or your winnings minus the cost to play. What is the mean of x, rounded to the nearest penny? $i
