Consider a system with 10 identical components, all of which
must work for the system to function.
Determine the reliability of the system if the reliability of each
component is 0.97. Assume components
fail independently.
Suppose we want a system reliability of 0.95, what should be the
minimum reliability of each component?

We have a system that has 2 independent components. Both
components must function in order for the system to function. The
first component has 9 independent elements that each work with
probability 0.92. If at least 6 of the elements are working then
the first component will function. The second component has 6
independent elements that work with probability 0.85. If at least 4
of the elements are working then the second component will
function.
