PAGASA is planning to place at five rain gauge in different locations within Metro Manila. The rain gauge in different location R1, R2, R3, R4 and Rs will operate 0.45, 0.30, 0.20, 0.25 and 0.30, respectively, at a time. If rain pours in those locations has probabilities of 0.2, 0.1, 0.3, 0.2, and 0.2, respectively, what is the probability that it will operate and measure rain water?
