A ship is fitted with three engines E(1)...

A ship is fitted with three engines `E_(1),E_(2),and E_(3)` the engines function independently of each othe with respectively probability `1//2,1//4, and 1//4.` For the ship to be operational at least two of its engines must function. Let X denote the event that the ship is operational and let `X_(1),X_(2), and X_(3)` denote, respectively, the events that the engines `E_(1),E_(2),and E_(3)` are functioning. Which of the following is (are) true?

A

`P[X_(1)^(@)|X] = 3//16`

B

P [exactly two engines of the ship are functioning [X] `= (7)/(8)`

C

`P[X|X_(2)] = (5)/(16)`

D

`P [X | X_(1)] = (7)/(16)`
