What is the reliability of the system?
Round your answer to 3 decimal places.
Expert Answer
As the question is silent about the combinations of the components that is the components are arranged in series or in parallel combination so the calculations for the reliability of the system are given in both the ways
Combination of components in series
R= (0.98)(0.99)(0.80)(0.86)(0.75)(0.86)
= 0.431
Combination of components in parallel
R = 1-(1-0.98)(1-0.99)(1-0.80)(1-0.86)(1-0.75)(1-0.86)
= 0.999
