Problem: 14 pointsl Given the Reliability Block Diagram below of a system with 3 different components in series, each with a time to failure distribution and a baseline 3-year reliability, which is the current warranty period for the system Part A Weibull, shape β-2 R(3 years) 0.75 Part B Expon R(3 years) 0.70 Part C Exponential R(3 years) 0.80 1.1) Determine the system reliability at 3-year. Management wants to improve the reliability of this system and extend the warranty period to 5 years. Assume 8,760 hours usage per year. For each of the following strategies, determine the system reliability at 5-year 1.2) Replace Parts B and C with redesigned parts having failure rates 1/10th of the current failure rates. 1.3) Improve Part A scale parameter, η, by 50%.
