A computer program has two modules X and Y and errors in them occur independently. X has an error with probability 0.1 and Y has an error with probability 0.3. If an error in X alone cause the program to crash with probability 0.5, an error in Y alone causes the program to crash with probability 0.7 and an error in both X and Y cause the program to crash with probability 0.8, then the probability that the program is crashed is
