Suppose that you have a system with one component and two backups.What is the formula for the reliability of the system? A)P(1^st works)+ [P(1^st fails)][P(2^nd works)] + [P(1^st fails)][P(3^rd works)] B)[P(1^st works)][P(2^nd works)][P(3^rd works)] C)[P(1^st works)] + [P(2^nd works)] + [P(3^rd works)] D)P(1^st works)+ [1 - P(1^st fails)][P(2^nd works)] + [1 - P(1^st fails)][P(3^rd works)] E)1 - [P(1^st fails)][P(2^nd fails)][P(3^rd fails)]
