Question 852963
Two of the modules have reliabilities of .96, and 
the other has a reliability of .98.
---------------------------------
What is the reliability of the computer?


If the backup computer must be activated by a switch in the event that the first computer fails, and the switch has a reliability of .97, what is the overall reliability of the system? (Both the switch and the backup computer must function in order for the backup to take over.)
---------
P(computer and switch work) = 0.96*0.97 = 0.9312
