QUESTION:

System Reliability Refer to the figure at the top of the next page in which surge protectors p and q are used to protect an expensive 3D HDTV. Ifthere is a surge in the voltage, the surge protector reduces it to a safe level. Assume that each surge protector has a 0.99 probability of working correctly when a voltage surge occurs.

a. If the two surge protectors are arranged in series, what is the probability that a voltage surge will not damage the television? (Do not round the answer.)

b. If the two surge protectors are arranged in parallel, what is the probability that a voltage surge will not damage the television? (Do not round the answer.)

c. Which arrangement should be used for the better protection?
