A system consists of two identical pumps, #1 and #2. If one pump fails,the system will still operate. However, because of the added strain, theremaining pump is now more likely to fail than was originally the case.
That is, 15 P(#2 fails | #1 fails). P(#2 fails) = q. If at least one pump fails bythe end of the pump design life in 7% of all systems and both pumps failduring that period in only 1%, what is the probability that pump #1 willfail during the pump design life?
