Question
Question 3: A simple computer consists of a processor, a bus and a memory. The computer will work only if all
three are functioning correctly. The probability that the processor is functioning is 0.99, that the bus is functioning 0.95, and that the memory is functioning is 0.99. Find the probability that the computer will work. Compare the reliability of the three components and the system and provide your insights.
Answer
The probability that the computer will work = PP* PB* PM
Where
PP is the probability of processor = 0.99
PB is the probability of bus = 0.95
PM is the probability of memory = 0.99
So,…
