Question

A new aircraft control system is being designed that must be 98.0​% reliable. This system consists of two components in series. If all two of the components are to have the same level of​ reliability, then the level of reliability required for each component​ = nothing​% ​(enter your response as a percentage rounded to two decimal​ places).

Answer 1

Answer:

98.99%

Step-by-step explanation:

The combined reliability of both components must be 98%. Given that both components must be functional and have the same reliability 'r', the minimum value of 'r' that meets the system requirements is given by:

$0.98 = r^2\\r=0.9899=98.99\%$

The level of reliability required for each component is 98.99%.
