To compute the system's reliability, we need to determine the probability that the system functions correctly. Given that each component fails with a probability of 0.64, the reliability (the probability that a component does not fail) for each component is:

$R_{\text{component}} = 1 - 0.64 = 0.36$

Assuming the system's overall reliability depends on all components functioning correctly (i.e., it’s a series system), the system's reliability $R_{\text{system}}$ can be calculated as the product of the reliabilities of all the components.

If there are $n$ components, then the system's reliability is:

$R_{\text{system}} = R_{\text{component}}^n = 0.36^n$

However, since the problem statement does not specify the number of components, we can't compute a specific reliability value. If you provide the number of components in the system, I can give you the exact answer.

Would you like to clarify the number of components, or do you have any other questions?

Here are 5 related questions:

1. How does the number of components affect the overall reliability of a system?
2. What happens to the reliability of a system if components are arranged in parallel?
3. How can we improve the reliability of a system with components that have high failure probabilities?
4. What is the difference between a series system and a parallel system in terms of reliability?
5. How would adding a redundant component affect the overall system reliability?

Tip: In reliability engineering, parallel systems often have higher overall reliability compared to series systems, as they can tolerate some component failures while still functioning.
