1. In a series configuration, the system reliability will always be equal to or greater than the least reliable component. True or False?
2. 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 ) .
3. For a k out n redundant system with identical component reliabilities R, the probability of a system failure is given by?
4. For a 5-component system connected in series 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?
5. Write the MATLAB program script to find the probability of the parallel systems. Assume that the number of components in system are with
different reliability.
6. Identify the following components for the fault tree analysis
Rectangle AND gate

7. Write about the Event Space method.
