Abstract?Triple modular redundancy becomes common when applications place a high premium on the reliability of a digital computer . As the weight, volume, and cost of electronic components decrease, 5-, 7-, or 9-fold redundancies should be considered. This short note presents expressions on the reliabilities of a general n-fold redundant system.

Index Terms?Failure probability, redundancy, reliability.
