Design Problem in Digital Design course?

okay guys here is my question. There are 4 hazard inputs to an alarm system that goes on as some of the operation malfunction occurs. The system operate as follows

.If one input is ON nothing happens

.If at least 2 inputs are ON a red pilot light (R) goes ON

.If at least 3 inputs are ON a alarm siren (S) sound

.If all 4 are ON the fire department (F) is notified

Now I need to write down a logic expression for the above system that describe the relationship between the output and the inputs.

You will need four logic expressions, one for each output. Just make them ORs of the ANDs of all combinations of the inputs that can cause the output. For example, if the inputs were A, B, C, D, the red pilot light output would be all combinations of two inputs:

A*B + A*C + A*D + B*C + B*D + C*D

where “*” is AND and “+” is OR
