There are n components lined up in a linear arrangement. Suppose that each component independently functions with probability p. What is the probability that no 2 neighboring components are both nonfunctional? Hint: Condition on the number of defective components and use the results of Example 4c of Chapter 1.
Example 4c
Suppose that you must choose one of two possible actions, each of which can result in any of n consequences, denoted as C1, ... , Cn. Suppose that if the first action is chosen, then consequence Ci will result with probability pi, i = 1, ... , n, whereas if the second action is chosen, then consequence Ciwill result with probability qi,Â
