As engineers, we endeavor to improve or increase the reliability of the systems or components that we design. In that sense, reliability is the probability of a system or component meeting its requirements successfully. A component with 80% reliability has a probability of p=.8 of meeting it's requirements. As a result, we can see reliability as a specialized application of probability theory. Use the rules of probability to explain how you would calculate the overall reliability of one system that has three components that have to perform in series (and so all components must perform to have a successful outcome) versus another system that has three components that operate in parallel (and so only one of the three needs to perform to have a successful outcome).

You drop a rubber ball off the roof of a 50 meter high building onto a paved parking lot. it bounces back up with every bounce, but not quite all the way back up to you. after the first bounce it bounces back only 80 percent of the distance it was dropped from. the pattern continues, meaning after every bounce it comes up to just 80 percent of the previous maximum height. so if before the first bounce the height is 50 meters, what height does the ball reach after the fifth bounce? round your answer to one decimal place and chose the correct response from the choices below:
