Consider an experiment that consists of observing the status of each component, and let the outcome of the experiment be given by the vector (x1,x2,x3,x4,x5), where xiis equal to 1if component iis working and is equal to 0if component iis failed.

(a) How many outcomes are in the sample space of this experiment?

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

(c) Let Abe the event that components 4and 5are both failed. How many outcomes are contained in the event A?

(d) Write out all the outcomes in the event AW.
