Oxnard Casualty wants to ensure that their e-mail server has 99.98 percent reliability. They will use several independent servers in parallel, each of which is 95 percent reliable. What is the smallest number of independent file servers that will accomplish the goal?
A floor cleaning robot contains 4 modules that are critical to its operation.
The modules and their individual reliabilities are listed below.
Movement module
0.98
Data Storage Module
0.999
Learning Module
0.99
Vision Module
0.94
What is the probability that the system will be up and running?

through redundant elements.
What would be the new reliability from each one of these changes?

- Rick Wing, salesperson for Wave SolderingSystems, Inc. (WSSI), has provided you with a proposal forimproving the temperature control on your present machine.The machine uses a hot-air knife to cleanly remove excess solder from printed circuit boards; this is a great concept, butthe hot-air temperature control lacks reliability. According toWing, engineers at WSSI have improved the reliability of thecritical temperature controls. The new system still has the foursensitive integrated circuits controlling the temperature, butthe new machine has a backup for each. The four integratedcircuits have reliabilities of .90, .92, .94, and .96.
