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.

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?
The assumption that a system will operate in a stable environment without risk is not realistic (Sales et al., 2018). Risk is widely classified into disruption and operational risks (Kleindorfer & Saad, 2005; Tang, 2006). Extreme uncertainty and the absence of synchronization between supply and demand are linked to operational risks while circumstances such as labor strikes, terrorist attacks, and natural calamities are related to disruption risks (Lockamy & McCormack, 2010). The probability of human injury or even death is high in disruptions such as multi-casualty disasters which brings about the challenge of increased pressure on healthcare. Healthcare institutions are required to become capable of understanding and adapting to environmental changes to mitigate such unexpected changes. These unexpected changes can affect the competitiveness, responsiveness and operating procedures of a firm significantly (Huang, Yen, & Liu, 2014), and for healthcare institutions, the…
A design engineer is considering the number of levels of redundancy to buildinto a particular circuit. The circuit will be part of a sensitive piece of equipmentwith cost estimated at $500 per failure. Each additional level of redundancy costs$100. If each component fails at random at a rate of one failure every five years,what level of redundancy most closely equates the cost of the design with the expected failure cost of the equipment over its 10-year life cycle?
