Suppose that the system will work if components 1 and 2 are both working, or if components 3 and 4 are both working, or if components 1, 3, and 5 are all working. Let W be the event that the system will work. Specify all the outcomes in W.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

We learned that it is possible that all entities can be in one of two states i.e. 0 or 1. Thus, all 5 entities can either be 0 or 1 (2 states).

∴

Number of outcomes = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

= 2⁵

= 32

b)

All the outcomes of W = {(1, 1, x₃, x₄, x₅) (x₁, x₂, 1, 1, x₅) (1, x₂, 1, x₄, 1)}
