A pumping station in a mine has 4 pumps, P1, P2, P3 and P4 which are connected functionally in parallel configuration as shown in the figure. The individual reliability of the pumps P1, P2, P3 and P4 are 0.80, 0.90, 0.85 and 0.95 respectively. For an effective dewatering operation in the mine denoting system success, at least three pumps should be in operation. The reliability of the system is
