1. For a 2out of 3 active redundancy system with each component has a 0.995 probability of success. Assume that the components are exponentially
distributed and = 1. Calculate the reliability of the system.
2. Write about the event space method.
3. Let = the event, the ith component fails where is the complementary event. Then the event at least one component from among 4 components
fails can be expressed as: (a) 1 2 3 4 (b) 1 2 3 4 (c) 1 (1 2 3 4 )
(d) 1 2 3 4 (e) (1 2 3 4 ) .
4. Write the MATLAB program script to find the probability of the series systems. Assume that the number of components in system are with different
reliability.
5. Identify the following components for the fault tree analysis
Diamond OR gate

6. For a 6-component system connected in parallel with notations , , , , and . If the components can be assumed to be exponentially distributed
(i.e. for component ). Then, what is the expression of reliability, unreliability and the failure rate of the system?
7. In a parallel configuration, the system reliability will always be equal to or less than the most reliable component. True or False?
