Problem 2 Due to the extreme cost of interrupting production, a manufacturer has two standby machines available in case a particular machine breaks down. The machine in use has a reliability of .94, and the backups have reliabilities of .90 and .80. In the event of a failure, a backup machine is brought into service. If this machine also fails, the other backup is used. Calculate the system reliability.
