A critical system component has three backup channels, C1,C2,C_1, C_2, and C3C_3. The system functions if C1C_1 works, OR if both C2C_2 and C3C_3 work. The probabilities of functioning are P(C1)=0.8P(C_1) = 0.8, P(C2)=0.7P(C_2) = 0.7, and P(C3)=0.6P(C_3) = 0.6. Assuming the channels fail independently, what is the probability that the system fails to function?
