Question

The following system of components has been proposed for a new product. Determine the reliability of the system.

R2 backup = 0.81
R3 backup = 0.91
R1 = 0.85 ---> R2 = 0.92 ---> R3 = 0.77

Answer 1

To determine the reliability of the system, multiply the reliabilities of each component.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the reliability of the system, we need to multiply the reliabilities of each component.

Given:

• R2 backup = 0.81
• R3 backup = 0.91
• R1 = 0.85
• R2 = 0.92
• R3 = 0.77

To find the reliability of the system, multiply all the reliabilities:

R_system = R1 * R2 * R3 * R2 backup * R3 backup

Substituting the given values:

R_system = 0.85 * 0.92 * 0.77 * 0.81 * 0.91 = 0.448

Therefore, the reliability of the system is 0.448.
