World Electronic produces computerized sewing ma
World Electronic produces computerized sewing machines. The sewing machine is made of 3 subsystems namely , and . The sewing machine will operate successfully if all the subsystems work.
• Subsystem works if Transistor or works.
• Subsystem works if Module and Module works.
• Subsystem works if Chip 1 and 2 work or Chip 3 and 4 work.
The success rate of the Transistor , , and Module , is 0.85. The success rate of the Chip 1, 2, 3 and 4 is 0.8.
(a) Sketch a block diagram and calculate the probability a computerized sewing machine operates successfully.
(b) The management of World electronics has decided to improve the success rate of the computerized sewing machine by 10%. Decision was made to replace Chip 1, 2, 3 and 4 with Chip which has a higher success rate. Same Transistor , and Module , to be used. As the Design Engineer of the sewing machine, suggest the minimum success rate that Chip must have to achieve the target.
