Probability Basicsmedium

An aircraft engine has two independent backup generators, G1G_1G1​ and G2G_2G2​. The probability that G1G_1G1​ fails during a flight is 0.040.040.04, and the probability that G2G_2G2​ fails is 0.060.060.06. However, if the main engine experiences a thermal spike (which occurs with a probability of 0.010.010.01), the failure probability of both generators rises to 0.500.500.50 each, though they still fail independently of each other given the spike. What is the overall probability that both generators fail during a flight?
