Answer

$P$(System A operates)= $71.2712$%

Work Step by Step

Event A: #1 component will operate properly. Event B: #2 component will operate properly. Event C: #3 component will operate properly. All the events are independent. $P$(all components operating properly) = $P$(A ∩ B ∩ C). $P$(all components operating properly) = $P$(A) * $P$(B) * $P$(C) $P$(all components operating properly) = $0.88\times0.91\times0.89$ (probabilities are given) $P$(all components operating properly) = $71.2712$%
