Question

. A system consists of three subsystems in parallel. Subsystem A has a reliability of 0.98, subsystem B has a reliability of 0.85, and subsystem C has a reliability of 0.88. Calculate the overall system reliability.

Answer 1

`P(System) = 0.73304`

Explanation:

Given

Reliability of:

A = 0.98

B = 0.85

C = 0.88

Required

Determine the overall reliability

The overall system reliability is calculated by multiplying the individual reliability of each subsystems;

i.e.

`P(System) = P(A) * P(B) * P(C)`

`P(System) = 0.98 * 0.85 * 0.88`

`P(System) = 0.73304`

Hence, the overall reliability is 0.73304
