1.
Compute the reliability of a two-element standby system with equal online and a nonzero standby failure rate. Include coverage.

2.
Compute the MTTF for problem 3.1.

3.
Plot a figure similar to where we compare the effect of coverage (rather than an imperfect switch) in reducing the reliability of a standby system. For what value of coverage are the parallel and standby systems approximately equal? Compare with and comment.

4.
Reformulate the Markov model of for two nonidentical parallel elements with one repairman; then write the equations and solve for the reliability. Include coverage.
