Question

the principle of redundancy is used when system reliability is improved through redundant or backup components. assume that a students alarm clock has a 10.7% daily failure rate. complete parts (a) through (d) below. a. what is the probability that the students alarm clock will not work on the morning of an important final exam? (round to three decimal places as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify failure rate

The daily failure rate of the alarm - clock is given as 10.7% or 0.107.

Step2: Determine probability of non - working

The probability that the alarm clock will not work on the morning of the important final exam is equal to its daily failure rate.

Answer:

0.107
