The correct answer should be:
P(A → B) = p { 1 − (1 − p) {1 − [1 − (1 − p)^3] p }} [1 − (1 − p)^2]

great demonstration for the devide and conquer method :)

[mayteylg]

Very helpful. The problem's difficulty was instructive. Thank you very much!

[khalidsaifullah]

Thank you Sir. Your explanation was laconic.

[aaa]

I think the final answer is incorrect.

[erenlmn]

in 7:05, i guess the last term p^2 should be only p

[kreigu]

how about if the system is not series nor parallel? ie like complex one

[SH-jqvq]

Does anybody know why the probability of failure under a parallel system is not the sum of 1-p?
