A new Boeing aircraft engine system has 4 turbine engines setup in parallel configuration. The system is designed for two engines to run continuously during flight time while the other two are on active standby. The operational flight time for the aircraft is expected to be 2000 hrs each year. The failure rate λ for each engine is 5 x 10-5 / hr. Using binomial expansion of (F+R)n find the probability that at least two engines will be running for four years.
