The system does not malfunction only if all five components do not malfunction:
(0.9)(0.9)(0.8)(0.8)(0.7) = 0.36288

As I understand, there is some electrical scheme behind this post,
which has parallel and serial connections.
In order for we, the tutors, could understand your request adequately,
this scheme should be presented adequately (visually, or via a link to a picture,
or via an accurate wording description).
Without it, our reasoning have no solid base.
So, take efforts to present the problem in a way as it should be done.
