The lifetime of a device has pdf: fT(t) = ? exp (-?(t-To)) for t ? To and 0 elsewhere ( To is positive) a. find the reliability and mean time to failure of the device b. Find the conditional failure rate. c. How many hours of operation can be considered to achieve 99% reliability? (let t be in hours)

Step 1: The reliability function R(t) is given by the integral of the pdf from t to infinity: \[ R(t) = \int_{t}^{\infty} A e^{-A(t-T_0)} dt \] Show more…

The failure distribution (probability density function) is defined by f(t) = 3t^2 / 10^9 0 <= t <= 1000hr a) What is the probability of failure (use Cumulative Distribution Function) within a 100-hr warranty period? b) Compute the MTTF. c) Find the design life for a reliability of 0.99

The probability density function (pdf) of X, the lifetime of a certain type of electronic device (measured in hours), is given by f(x) = 10/x^2, x ≥ 10, 0, x < 10. (a). Find the probability that the device will fail within the first 15 hours. (b). Now consider that you have a large collection of these devices lined up in a row, numbered device 1, device 2, etc. They are all independent of one another. What is the probability that the 4th device will be the first one that does not fail within the first 15 hours?

The life of a certain type of device has an advertised failure rate of 0.01 per hour. The failure rate is constant and the exponential distribution applies. (a) What is the mean time to failure? (b) What is the probability that 200 hours will pass before a failure is observed?
