Consider a power supply system that has two components (Net and Battery)

Consider a power supply system that has two components (Net and Battery) connected in a Cold-Standby configuration: The primary power comes from a normal power network (Net). The Net's lifetime distribution follows an exponential distribution with a failure rate=1/400 failures/day; In addition to that, a battery is kept charged and is used if necessary. The Battery's lifetime distribution follows an exponential distribution with a failure rate=1/50 failures/day. For a service time of 100 days, calculate the overall system reliability by assuming the switching is not perfect with a reliability of 0.95 and the standby component is instantaneously switched on when the first component fails.
