Debugging a system (Posted on 2018-04-16)

A certain device consists of 24 equally reliable components. It is known that one (and only one) is faulty. The location of the failed component is performed by replacement - one after another.

1. Find the probabilty of restoring the functioning of the system within 3 trials.
2. Same question for n trials.
