PROBLEM 4 (3 separate mini-problems) a. Consider two different
types of motors. Motor A has a characteristic life of (4000+YZ)
hours and a shape parameter B = 0.9. Motor B has a characteristic
life of (400+YZ) hours with a shape parameter B = 2.8. Which of
these offers better reliability for 100 hours? Which of these
offers better reliability for 500 hours? b. A
different gasket (known to be at constant failure rate) has a MTBF
of 10 months. 1. What is the reliability at (200+ YZ/2) days? 2.
How many days does it take for the reliability to fall to a 90%
level? 3. How many days does it take for the reliability to fall to
a 80% level?
C. Given that a complex software system averages (10+YZ)
errors per 20,000 lines of code, you are looking at managing a
10,000 line program. What is the probability of exactly 0, 1, and 2
errors in 10 000 lines of code? What is the probability of 2 or
more errors? Show calculations below, with answers to two decimal
places. Probability # of errors 0 1 2. >2 100.00%
