The principle of redundancy is used when system reliability is improved through redundant or backup components. Assume that a student's alarm clock has a 8.2% daily failure rate.
a. What is the probability that the student's alarm clock will not work on the morning of an important final exam?.
b. If the student has two such alarm clocks, what is the probability that they both fail on the morning of an important final exam?
c. What is the probability of not being awakened if the student uses three independent alarm clocks?
