A combination of two failures lead to catastrophic event and the first failure is latent is there probability requirement for the latent failure?

If you have two weakpoints that can combine to greate a catastrophic failure, the best course fo action would be to replace both components. Its a bit like a car, if you have a flat tyre and a dirty windscreen, you could kill yourself in a crash, so, one would clean the winscreen and change the tyre. not just change the tyre and drive on with a dirty windscreen. If a job is worth doing, it's worth doing right the first time round, don't cut corners.

Do wind turbines blades ever come off?
There have been catastrophic failures of wind turbines where they come apart. A search for wind turbine failures on a video site will give you examples.
What is covered under catastrophic health insurance?
Serious damage, such as the breakage of a bone, or other muscle tears and ligament breakages. Also heart failures, and cancer treatment is covered in catastrophic health insurance.
The probability that a given alternator will fail on a 1-hour flight is 02 What is the probability that both will fail?
Assuming the alternator's failures are unrelated, the probability of both failing is the product of the individual probability, or 0.022, or 0.0004. The duration of the flight does not matter.
What is the technical definition for bug?
An error in a program or a malfunction in a program's code which can cause anomolies, abnormal program execution and catastrophic failures (crash).
The probability that Julie will make a free throw is 40 percent what is the probability that she will make 4 out of her next 6 free throw shots?
The probability of four out of six shots is the probability of four successes, times the probability of two failures, times the number of permutations of successes and failures: P(four out of six free throws) = 15 * (2/5)4 * (3/5)2 = (15 * 16 * 9) / (625 * 25) = 432 / 3125
How do you fix a brake line on a 96 Corsica?
The brake lines on a 96 Corsica can be fixed by replacing damaged sections with new lines. This will improve braking and prevent catastrophic failures.
Does the Mazda B3000 truck have a non interference engine?
A Mazda B3000 truck does not have a non interference engine. These engines are designed to survive catastrophic timing failures due to lower tolerances.
Why cooling arrangements for large alternator?
Anything that uses or makes electricity produces heat. If you keep scaling it up, it will get to hot for its own material. Therefor it must be cooled to prevent catastrophic failures.
What happens when you put one gallon of diesel in the hydraulic tank on cat forklift?
You'll thin out the oil more than it already is which can lead to internal damage or even catastrophic failures of moving hydraulic parts, pumps, cylinders etc.
What would cause the transmission to shift hard on a 2001 Oldsmobile intrigue?
In order of probability: Low or incorrect fluid, over-revving engine while shifting, valve body issues (including solenoid failures)
Moment generating function of a negative binomial distribution?
[(1 - p)/(1 - pet)]r for t < -ln(p) where p = probability of success in each trial, r = number of failures before success.
