Due to rising patient complaints, the hospital administrator, Chimeg Ganbaatar, has decided to improve the reliability of the admission process by providing backup clerks for two of the admitting clerks (with the lowest reliabilities) with reliabilities of 0.95 and 0.90 (see figure above).
- b) Find the reliability of the new admission process.
Note: You could work out the problem by hand or use excel; in chapter 4S, section 4S.2 of the Stevenson text, reliability (finding the probability of functioning when activated) is covered with examples; chapters 4 & 4S Stevenson lecture power point slides 23 to 28 (chapters 4 & 4S lecture: 20.08 mins to 28.34 mins) cover reliability with examples.
