Aproduction line has three machines a, b, and c, with reliabilities of .96, .86, and .85, respectively. the machines are arranged so that if one breaks down, the others must shut down. engineers are weighing two alternative designs for increasing the line’s reliability. plan 1 involves adding an identical backup line, and plan 2 involves providing a backup for each machine. in either case, three machines (a, b, and c) would be used with reliabilities equal to the original three. a. compute overall system reliability under plan 1. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability b. compute overall system reliability under plan 2. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability c. which plan will provide the higher reliability? plan2plan1

This year, druehl, inc., will produce 60 comma 000 hot water heaters at its plant in delaware, in order to meet expected global demand. to accomplish this, each laborer at the plant will work 200 hours per month. if the labor productivity at the plant is 0.25 hot water heaters per labor hour, how many laborers are employed at the plant? number of laborers employed by the plant = nothing laborers (round your answer to the nearest whole number).
