Definition n events A 1, A 2,..., A n are said to be mutually independent if and only if for any different k = 2,..., n events satisfy

Example 15 Given the following Venn Diagram, are events A, B, C mutually independent? P(A) = 0.6, P(B) = 0.8, P(C) = 0.5 P(A  B  C) = 0.24 = P(A)P(B)P(C) P(A  B) = 0.48 = P(A)P(B) P(A  C) = 0.30 = P(A)P(C) P(B  C) = 0.38  P(B)P(C) 

Chapter 1 Probability Spaces Reliabilities

Reliability of a component  Let R i denote the probability of a component in a system which is functioning properly (event A i ). We will assume that the failure events of components in a system are mutually independent. Reliabilities of systems  1. series systems — The entire system will fail if any one of its component fails. 2. parallel systems — The entire system will fail only if all its component fail.
