An electrical system consists of 2 components (C1 and C2) functioning independently and are set in a parallel layout. The failure time of each component follows an exponential distribution with rate 2 every year. Identify the failure density of system if

i) the system functions if and only if both components function. Hence, calculate the probability of the system failing in less than 8 months.

ii) the system can function only on anyone functioning component. Hence, determine the probability of the system failing in less than 8 months.

iii) the system functions if and only if both components function. Hence, calculate the probability of the system surviving after 10th month in operation.

iv) the system can function only on any one functioning component. Hence, calculate the probability of the system surviving after 10th month in operation.

Q1: An electrical system consists of 2 components (C1 and C2) functioning independently, and are set in a serial layout. The failure time of each component follows an exponential distribution with rate 2 in every year. Thus the system will operate if both components function, and it will fail if any one component fails. (a) Obtain the failure density and distribution of the system (b) Obtain the survival function/distribution of the system. (c) Based on your answer in (a) and...

An electrical system consist of 2 components (C1 and C2) functioning independently, and are set in a series layout. The failure time of each component follows an exponential distribution with rate 2 in every year.Suppose the system will operate if both components function, and it will fail if any one component fails. calculate i) the probability that the system fails in less than 8 months. ii) the expected time to failure of the system.

Two capacitors C1 = 2 µF and C2 = 6 µF are connected in parallel across a 11 V battery. They are carefully disconnected so that they are not discharged and are reconnected to each other with positive plate to negative plate and negative plate to positive plate (with no battery). (a) Find the potential difference across each capacitor after they are connected. V (2 µF capacitor) . V (6 µF capacitor) (b) Find the initial and final energy stored...

Two firms compete under Cournot competition with constant marginal costs c1 = 2 and c2 = 4. The market demand is P=18-Q . a) Compute the market share of each firm, the market price, and the total quantity produced in the market. b) [CHALLENGING] You later hear that the marginal cost of firm 2 increased, and realize that the market price is now P = 9. What is the new marginal cost c2 ?

We have always assumed that components in a system fail independently. In life, this might not be the case. What effect does positive correlation between the lifetimes of two parallel components have on the system lifetime? Assume that the two parallel components have lifetimes that are both described by normal distributions with means of 2,000 hours and standard deviations of 150 hours. Determine the distribution of system lifetime when the two component lifetimes are independent and again when they have...
