Concerned with whether the products will succeed or fail in the marketplace, a market analysis is conducted that results in the sample points and associated probabilities of occurrence listed in the table (S,: analog succeeds, Fa: analog fails, etc.). Find the probability of each of the following events:
A: (Both new products are successful]
B: (The analog design is successful}
C: {The digital design is successful}
D: (At least one of the two products is successful]
