Be sure to show your work for a, b, and c below!
- What is the availability percentage of the entire system (to three decimal places)?
- We can deploy systems in parallel to increase availability.Calculate the availability percentage we get by deploying two of the systems from answer 2a in parallel (to three decimal places).
- Calculate the availability percentage we get by deploying three of the systems from answer 2a in parallel (to three decimal places).
