NL-NWO 1984 Problem 2

    The circuit diagram drawn (see figure ) contains a battery BB , a lamp LL and five switches S1S_1 to S5S_5 . The probability that switch S3S_3 is closed (makes contact) is 23\frac23 , for the other four switches that probability is 12\frac12 (the probabilities are mutually independent). Calculate the probability that the light is on.
