3. Answer the following questions on reliability
3.1. A product is made up of six components \( A, B, C, D, E \), and \( F \). They are wired in series with reliabilities of \(.95,.98,.94,.96,.98\), and .97 for components A through F, respectively. What is the overall reliability for this product? (7 Points)
3.2. Suppose backup components are introduced for components \( A \) and \( C \). These components have identical reliabilities to \( A \) and \( C \). What is now the overall reliability for the product? (7 Points)
3.3. Suppose that redundant components are introduced for all of the components in Problem 3.1. What is now the overall reliability for the product? (7 Points)
3.4. A radio is made up of 125 components. What would have to be the average reliability for each component for the radio to have a reliability of \(98\%\) over its useful life? (7 Points)
3.5. The Collier Company tested 200 products for 100 hours each. In this time, they experienced 12 breakdowns. Compute the number of failures per hour. What is the mean time between failures? (7 Points)
3.6. Suppose a product is designed to function for 10,000 hours with a \(3\%\) chance of failure. Find the average number of failures per hour \((\lambda)\) and the MTTF.(7 Points)
3.7. You are to decide between 3 potential suppliers for an assembly for a product you are designing. After performing life testing on several assemblies, you find the following. What do you recommend? (8 Points)
