4 - Machines are linked to a drain, each has an individual probability of discharge of 0.24 based on the individual discharge rate in seconds over interval of discharge therfore for a single machine (p) = t/T = 0.24
Need to know how to calculate the combined discharge for 4-machines each having same (p) = 0,24 to arrive at the maximum flow rate

If I understand your question, the chance that two machines will discharge at full flow at the same time is half of 0.24, which is 0.12. The chance that all four will do so is half of that again, namely 0.06. This means that the probability of maximum combined discharge will only occur 6% of the time.
Is this what you wanted?
If my maths is wrong could someone please help this guy out? It's a valid question, after all.

Assuming discharge from a unit is an independent event to another unit, probability of all 4 discharging at the same time is (0.24)^4 = 0.00331776.

Dude, this really is the wrong place and the wrong time to be asking maths questions no-one gives a toss about. Try a dedicated maths forum. People here will just tell you to fcuk off!

At abode, at artwork, on the espresso save, no distinction, i'm nonetheless bored. easily, if i bypass abode, i'd not be on the internet in any respect, i might want to be outdoors contained in the gentle taking section in stuff!

well isnt the maximum flow rate 4(.24)? this question is to brief.

The answer would be (.4)^4.
