You are running a continuous operation of five turbines for 1000 hours. During that test one turbine has failed at 825 hours and was removed from the test. What is the one-sided 90% confidence limit on the failure rate?

You are an engineer working with a Renewable Energy Company responsible for installing wind farms around the country. Due to environmental conditions (namely dust, humidity, etc.), the wind turbines, despite a regular maintenance schedule, do occasionally fail. Your goal is to investigate the reliability issue of the wind farm installed in a specific area. You randomly select a turbine and check its operation records. The data indicates that the Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of the turbine is 74 days. You are also told that the failures seem to be independently occurring with an exponential distribution. Assuming the time between failures of the turbine to be exponentially distributed as claimed above, find the probability that the time to its 10th failure (since the start of its operation) lasts more than 1000 days.

You have just completed a reliability improvement test for a newly designed component to be used within a aero engine manufactured by a big multinational company. This component went through 500 operational hours of reliability improvement testing and during this period there were 10 failures, and consequently 10 repairs/replacements. These ten unscheduled repairs/replacement occurred at the following times: 0.6, 6.7, 19.2, 40.3, 51.5, 75, 197.1, 256.1, 491 and 496.6 hours. Apply a Power Law NHPP Model to this test data and to 3 decimal places, what is the unbiased estimate for the reliability growth slope of this model?

2. A turbine blade has demonstrated a Weibull failure pattern with a decreasing failure rate characterized by a shape parameter of 0.6 and a scale parameter of 800 hours. Compute the probability that there will be no failure before 100 hours of operation.
