An system consists of four components which are working independently. A has a reliability of 90% working, B has 90% too; both C and D have a reliability of 80%. The system works if both A and B works, and either of the components C or D works. The system starts with A. Compute the probability that a. entire system works ( Ans. 0.776) b. component C does not work, but the others work. (Ans. 0.1667)
