Chapter 13.1, Problem 3P

a

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

Value of R(t) and F(t)

Concept Introduction:

Probability is the likelihood of an event to occur.. It ranges between 0 to 1. O implies no chance of occurance while 1 implies 100% chance of occurance.

b

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

The expected number of failures

Concept Introduction:

Probability Distribution Function is a likelihood of an event to occur for discrete random variables. Graphically, it shows how likely variables will fall under the probability area.

Exponential distribution is a probabilitydistribution which finds probability of an event to occur between independent constant rate and continous rate.

c

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

Value of r(1) yield good approximation or not.

Concept Introduction:

Normal distribution is the probability function with continuous series. It is bell shaped distribution function where mean, median and mode are same.

d

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

Expected number of items that fail between 1 year and 1 year+ 1 week

Concept Introduction:

Normal distribution is the probability function with continuous series. It is bell shaped distribution function where mean, median and mode are same.

Consider a product that is "settled in." Its MTBF distribution has been found to be normal with a mean of 10,000 hours and a standard deviation of 100 hours. Answer the following questions: (a) Calculate the probability of a breakdown before 8,000 hours?  (b) Calculate the probability of a breakdown before 9,000 hours? (c) Would you prefer a policy of “preventive maintenance” or a policy of “breakdown maintenance” on this product? Explain your choice.
A Florida lottery machine and printer at Store #8302 operates 360 days a year. If the machine does not work and breaks down, it costs the Florida Lottery Commission $2,160 per day. If store employees are trained to perform local tests on the machine each day plus the costs of machine repairpersons, these preventive maintenance costs average $850 per day. If preventive maintenance is performed daily, the probability the equipment fails is zero. The probability of store lottery machine breakdown is as follows. Number of Lottery Machine Breakdowns per Day 0 1 1/3 Probability of a breakdown What are the economics of the situation? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest dollar. The expected cost of a breakdown per day is $ The Florida Lottery Commission saves $ by performing preventive maintenance daily. 2 1/3 1/3 per year
A local cab company maintains a fleet of 10 cabs. Each time a cab breaks down, it isrepaired the same day. Assume that breakdowns of individual cabs occur completely atrandom at a rate of two per year.d. What is the probability that there are more than five breakdowns between Thanksgiving Day (November 28) and New Year’s Day (January 1)?e. For what reason might your answer in part (d) be too low?
