Re an experienced small business owner who would like to become a franchisee of Quick Burger, a nationwide franchise of fast food restaurants. There are some Quick Burger restaurants in your area, but not so many that another franchise would be profitable. Before joining the franchise, you want to make sure that the essential terms are clear to both parties. Discuss potential issues you would need to resolve before entering into a franchise contract with Quick Burger.

Aproduction line has three machines a, b, and c, with reliabilities of .96, .86, and .85, respectively. the machines are arranged so that if one breaks down, the others must shut down. engineers are weighing two alternative designs for increasing the line’s reliability. plan 1 involves adding an identical backup line, and plan 2 involves providing a backup for each machine. in either case, three machines (a, b, and c) would be used with reliabilities equal to the original three. a. compute overall system reliability under plan 1. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability b. compute overall system reliability under plan 2. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability c. which plan will provide the higher reliability? plan2plan1
