Perform simple reliability computations
Reliability of a system is the probability of a system performing the necessary operations accurately during a specific period. It is the probability of a system to operate without any interruptions and breakdowns and does require outside interventions. Reliability of a system generally tends to reduce over longer periods compared to its initial reliability.
A product is composed of four parts. In order for the product to function properly in a given situation, each of the parts must function. Two of the parts have a .96 probability of functioning, and two have a probability of .99. What is the overall probability that the product will function properly?
A:
Given information:
R1 = 0.96
R2 = 0.96
R3 = 0.99
R4 = 0.99
