A major city transports water from its storage reservoir to the city via three large tunnels. During an arbitrary summer week there is a probability q that the reservoir level will be low. Owing to the occasional call to repair a tunnel or its control valves, etc., there are probabilities pi(i = 1, 2, 3) that tunnel i will be out of service during any particular week. These calls to repair particular tunnels are independent of each other and of...
