A system consists of five identical components connected in series as shown:As soon as one components fails, the entire system will fail. Suppose each component has a lifetime that is exponentially distributed with ? = 0.01 and that components fail independently of one another. Define eventsAi= {ith component lasts at least t hours}, i = 1, . . . , 5, so that the Ais are independent events. Let X = the time at which the system failsthat is, the...
Problem #7: Suppose that 26% of all steel shafts produced by a certain process are nonconforming but can be reworked (rather than having to be scrapped). (a) In a random sample of 175 shafts, find the approximate probability that between 37 and 53 (inclusive) are nonconforming and can be reworked. (b) In a random sample of 175 shafts, find the approximate probability that at least 49 are nonconforming and can be reworked. Problem #8: A system consists of five components...
(12 points) Consider the system comprised of three components as shown below. Suppose The lifetime of Component 1 is exponentially-distributed with parameter 11 = 1/10. • The lifetime of Component 2 is exponentially-distributed with parameter 12 = 1/20. • The lifetime of Component 3 is exponentially-distributed with parameter 13 = 1/15. The system is working if both (A) Component 1 is working, and (B) Component 2 or/and Component 3 is working. Compute the probability that the system is still working...
Question 4 [20 marks] A system consists of five components in two branches as shown in the following diagram: C-D-E- In other words, the system works if components A and B work or components C, D, and E work. Assume that the components fail independently with the following probabilities: P(A fails) = P(B fails) = 0.1 and P(C fails) = P(D fails) = P(E fails) = 0.2. (a) What is the probability that the system works? (b) Given that the...
5. Lec 17 function of pairs of R.V., 8 pts) Let X be the lifetime of a critical and expensive component in a system, which is exponentially distributed with mean 2 years. The system also has a cheaper backup component that can take over when the expensive component fails so that the system can provide continuous service while the more expensive system is being repaired. Let Y be the lifetime of the backup system, which is also exponentially distributed but...
Suppose a system of ive components Ai,1 Si S 5 is arranged as follows 2 Assum e the lifetime of each component is exponentially distributed with parameter) and the components function independently. Let of the i-th component, that is the random variable defined by (Xi - t) means that the the i-th component stops working at time t. Saying that Xi has an exponenti distribution with parameter X means X, be the lifetime random variable and P(Xi s t)-1-e*. be...
4. Reliability of Systems - Take n components to have failure times Ti, T2, ..., Tn If we construct a complex system out of these distribution of the failure time T of the entire svstem in terms of the distributions of Ti, T2, ..., Tn. There are two basic networks. In a series hookup, the system fails as soon as any one of the components fails. Hence T - min(T1, T2, ...,Tn). In a parallel hookup the system is operational...
A system consists of three components A, B and C, which fails independently with probabilities 0.2, 03 and 0.2. Let X be the total number of failed components. (a) Find the probability distribution of X. (b) What is the probability that at least one component is working. (c) Find E(X^3 − 1). 3. (7 points) A system consists of three components A, B and C, which fails independently with probabilities 0.2, 03 and 0.2. Let X be the total number...
