A product is composed of four parts. In order for the product to function properly in a given situation, each of the parts must function. Two of the parts have a 0.96 probability of functioning, and two have a probability of 0.99. (Leave your answers in 4 decimal places).
a factory that produces a small number of items per day. In about 30% of working days the factory produces 7 units of the product, in 45% of working days it produces 8 units, and the rest of working days it produces 9 units. After production is completed, each unit is thoroughly inspected. Each unit fails inspection with probability ??. If two or more units fail inspection on the same day, the factory closes for a week to re-calibrate equipment. Say the factory opens today after being closed for a week, write a mathematical expression to calculate the probability that the factory will remain open at least 30 days before closing again.
