Find probability that the flashlight will perform reliably


The Ready Light Company produces a flashlight which is perfectly reliable except for two components: the battery, which has a random failure rate of one in every five hours of operation; and the light bulb, which has a random failure rate of three in every ten hours.

If the company includes both a backup light bulb and a backup battery with each flashlight, what is the probability that the flashlight will perform reliably for one hour (excluding replacement time)?

1. a. 0.6720
2. b. 0.7280
3. c. 0.8736
