A component has a reliability that fits the exponential distribution. The Mean Time Between Failure for the component is 2500 cycles. What is the probability that the component will not fail before 7500 cycles?
( don't hand writing solution)
An operation consists of two steps , the first of which has a reliability of 97% and the second a reliability of 99%. What is the probability that the operation will fail?
please I need full explanation
Assume that the system still costs $600 to fix every time it breaks down, and you are going to run the system 1000 times. You are considering improving your system. You have contacted a backup supplier of component 1. She tells you that the backup for component 1 will cost $50,000. What would the minimum reliability of the backup need to be to make the purchase worthwhile? (keep 4 decimals for intermediate calculations)

- Banks have card readers on the outside doors to individuals branches for access to the ATM lobby for off banking hours. In this example, a bank has decided to use two card readers hooked up in parallelredundancy where the customer can use either card reader to gain entry to the lobby. Assume that the percentage of failure for the card reader is 5%, find the overall system reliability, Rs .arrow_forwardThe concept of reliability, in short, refers to the ability of a given system to operate in accordance with the purpose for which it was designed, within a stipulated period of time. Suppose you, Mechanical Engineer, have been hired to provide consultancy to a parts factory automotive. At one point in the conversation between you and your contractor, he stated that the company has a specific system that needs to undergo reliability optimization and made the following statement: “The system we want to optimize has a low reliability of 63%. We come to this conclusion because, in for every 100 manufactured components 63 fail.” Review the above conclusion and judge whether the contractor is right or wrong in the comment he made. Justify your answer, presenting valid arguments, based on the discipline. Please make it typeable as handwriting hinders understanding!arrow_forwardThe reliability of a hard-disk drive is typically described in terms of a quantity called mean time between failures (MTBF). Although this quantity is called a “time,” the MTBF actually is measured in drive-hours per failure. If a system contains 1,000 disk drives, each of which has a 750,000-hour MTBF, which of the following best describes how often a drive failure will occur in that disk farm: once per thousand years, once per century, once per decade, once per year, once per month, once per week, once per day, once per hour, once per minute, or once per second?arrow_forward

- Three (3) computers together provide a replicated service. The manufacturers claim that each computer has a mean time between failure of five days; a failure typically takes four hours to fix. What is the availability of the replicated service?arrow_forwardSeveral years ago, Baecher, de Neufville, and Paté carried out a study of reported failures of large dams around the world. They concluded that the failure rate was 0.0001 per dam-year. A dam-year is defined as one dam operating for one year. The definitions of "failure" and "large dam" are subject to dispute, but the study has become the basis for much of the reliability studies done by agencies that operate dams. Almost everyone assumes that this failure rate represents a constant failure rate (CFR) scenario even though there is good reason to believe that a bathtub curve, with higher rates of failure at the beginning and end of the life cycle, might be more appropriate. Assuming that the CFR model is accurate, answer the following: a) What is the mean time to failure (MTTF) in dam-years for the Baecher et al. model? b) If an agency manages a portfolio of 350 dams, and they are independent of each other, what is the mean time the agency can expect to carry on before a failure occurs?…arrow_forwardAn early warning security fence has three major components each must perform in order for the system to perform.

The report indicates that scanners have a service life that is normally distributed with a mean of 41 months and a standard deviation of 4 months.
