A space shuttle is made up of 795 "criticality 1" items. Each "criticality 1" item must have 99.99% reliability, according to standards, meaning that the probability of failure for such an item is 0.0001. Determine the probability that a. none of the "criticality 1" items would fail. b. at least one "criticality 1" item would fail. c. Interpret your answer in part (b) in words.
