For the purpose of example let us consider $\{ B_2, B_3 \}$
to be intrinsically mutually exclusive, by $B_1$ to be independent.

We can now consider the shaded areas as new failure modes of the component (see figure \ref{fig:combco3}).
Because of the combinations, the probabilities for the failure modes
$B_1, B_2$ and $B_3$ will now reduce.
We can use the prime character ($/prime$), to represent the altered value for a failure mode, i.e.
We can use the prime character ($\; \prime \;$), to represent the altered value for a failure mode, i.e.
$B_1^\prime$ represents the altered value for $B_1$.
Thus
$$ P(B_1^\prime) = B_1 - P(B_1 \cap B_2) - P(B_1 \cap B_3)\; , $$
$$ P(B_2^\prime) = B_2 - P(B_1 \cap B_2) \; and $$
$$ P(B_3^\prime) = B_3 - P(B_1 \cap B_3) \; . $$
We now have two new component failure mode $B_4$ and $B_5$, shown in figure \ref{fig:combco3}.
We can express their probabilities as $P(B_4) = P(B_1 \cap B_3)$ and $P(B_5) = P(B_1 \cap B_2)$.
