A suspension bridge is located in an earthquake region. When an earthquake occurs, the probability that the bridge will<br>collapse depends on the magnitude of the earthquake and also on the condition of the cables. The cables are either good<br>or bad with relative chances of 4 to 1. The odds of having a strong or weak magnitude earthquake are 3 to 2. The bridge<br>will definitely collapse if a strong earthquake occurs. The bridge will survive a weak earthquake if the cables are good. If<br>the cables are bad, it will have a 50% chance of survival. What is the probability that the bridge will collapse during an<br>earthquake?<br>O a. 0.64<br>O b. 0,03<br>Oc.0.28<br>O d. 0.71<br>e. 0.0084<br>
