- Assume that the probability that an airplane engine will fail during a torture test is 12and that the aircraft in question has 4 engines. Construct a sample space for the torture test. Use S for survive and F for fail.arrow_forwardIf a binomial experiment has probability p success, then the probability of failure is ____________________. The probability of getting exactly r successes in n trials of this experiment is C(_________, _________)p (1p)arrow_forward
