A product is made up of two subsystems in series. The first subsystem consists of 20 components in series. The second subsystem consists of 3 components in parallel. The components in subsystem 1 are all of the same design and each has a 1/10,000 chance of failure. The parallel components each has a 3/10,000 chance for failure. What is the overall reliability of the system?
