Question 51

The design function which assigns probability of failures between components or subsystems is called:
Response:
  • Question 52

    A series system whose reliability at 5 hours is 0.80, has three components with these historical constant failure rates:
    λ 1 = failure rate for component 1 = 0.04 failures/hour
    λ 2 = failure rate for component 2 = 0.07 failures/hour
    λ 3 = failure rate for component 3 = 0.01 failures/hour
    Three of the four answers are the three component reliabilities at 5 hours. Which is incorrect?
    Response:
  • Question 53

    For a company operating multiple units of production equipment, the observed failure rate is 42 x 10-6 failures per operating hour, and the preventive maintenance rate is 320 x 10-6 actions per hour. What is the mean time between corrective and preventive maintenance (MTBM)?
