On the standard Edsel, the master cylinder has a reliability of 0.93, the brake line has a reliability of 0.85, and the brake discs have a reliability of 0.70. All three must work for the brake system to operate correctly. For the premium Edsel, the master cylinder and brake lines are the same, but the brake discs have a reliability of 0.81, and the discs have a brake shoe assembly as a backup with a reliability of 0.46. How much more reliable is the premium Edsel's brake system than the standard Edsel's system?
