Can some one help me to solve this quistion.
Let p(a)=0.6 be the probability that the rocket will destroy during its flight. And p(b)0.02 be the probability that the engine will not start.What will the probability that the rocket will reach into space successfuly.
I've an idea to solve it.
P'(a) intersection P(b) +
P(a) intersection P'(b) and
P'(a) intersection P'(b)??

Probablity the engine starts = (1.-.02)
Probability the flight is successful = (1.-.6)

(1.-.02)*(1.-.6)= .392
.
