Components would fail during a random flight

Reference no: EM13678796

Assume that electrical engineers working at Boeing in Seattle, Washington, have calculated that the probability of a particular electronic component in a Boeing 787 Dream liner has only a 1 in 10,000 chance of going defective in the middle of a flight. Boeing has decided to place a second component next to it to use as a back-up in case of failure. What is the probability that both components would fail during a random flight?
