Question

A jet engine has 10 components in series. The average reliability of each component is 0.998. What is the reliability of the engine?

Answer 1

98%

Step-by-step explanation:

RE = RC1 * RC2 * ....... * RC10:.RE = Reliabilility of the Engine & RC = Reliability of the Components

RE = 0.998 * 0.998 *........ * 0.998

RE = (0.998)^10

RE = 0.9802

RE = 98.02%

Thus, the Reliability of Engine is 98% approximately.
