\subsubsection{Example: Two Component functional group cardinality Constraint of 2}
For example: suppose we have a simple functional group with two components R and T, of which
$$fm(R) = \{R_o, R_s\}$$ and $$fm(T) = \{T_o, T_s, T_h\}$$.
$$fm(R) = \{R_o, R_s\}$$ and $$fm(T) = \{T_o, T_s, T_h\}.$$
This means that the functional~group $FG=\{R,T\}$ will have a component failure mode set
of $fm(FG) = \{R_o, R_s, T_o, T_s, T_h\}$

Thus the statistical sample space $\Omega$ for a component or derived~component $C$ is

$$ \Omega(C) = \{OK, failure\_mode_{1},failure\_mode_{2},failure\_mode_{3}, \ldots ,failure\_mode_{N}\} $$
