A computer repair shop has estimated the probability that a computer sent to the shop has a bad modem is 1 4, the probability that the computer has a bad CPU is 1 3, and the probability that it has a bad drive is 1 8. If we assume that modems, CPUs, and drives are independent, find the probability of the following. (Enter your probabilities as fractions.) (a) A modem, CPU, and a drive in a computer sent to the shop are bad. (b) Only a modem and a CPU in a computer sent to the shop are bad. (c) None of the three parts (modem, CPU, or drive) is bad
