A university computer laboratory installs one of three operating systems on each computer used in the lab. It is known from product testing that during an hour of web browsing the probability a computer with system 1 installed will crash is 0.15, the probability of a computer with operating system 2 crashing is 0.08 and the probability of a computer with system 3 crashing is 0.1.
