    C = Collapse of superstructure
    E = Excessive settlement
    Given:
    P(E) = 0.1; P(C) = 0.05
    P(CE) = 0.2
    (a)

    P(Failure) = P(C E)
    = P(C) + P(E) P(CE)P(E)
    = 0.05 + 0.1 0.2x0.1
    = 0.13

    (b)

    P( ECE C)

    P(( EC ) ( E C ))
    P( E C )

    = P(EC) / 0.13
    = 0.2x0.1 / 0.13
    = 0.154

    (c)

    P(E C E C) = P(E C ) + P( E C)
    = P(EC) P(EC)
    = 0.13 0.02
    =0.11
