If assume collection of modules have exponentially distributed lifetimes (age of component doesn't matter in failure probability) and modules fail independently, overall failure rate of collection is sum of failure rates of modules.

Calculate MTTF of a disk subsystem with

10 disks, each rated at 1,000,000 hour MTTF
1 SCSI controller, 500,000 hour MTTF
1 power supply, 200,000 hour MTTF
1 fan, 200,000 MTTF
1 SCSI cable, 1,000,000 hour MTTF

Failure Rate?
MTTF?
What if 1000,000 MTTF > 100 years, Make an example for this condition.

A critical component on a submarine has an operating lifetime that is exponentially distributed with mean 0.50 years. As soon as a component fails, it is replaced by a new one having statistically identical properties. What is the smallest number of spare components that the submarine should stock if it is leaving for a one-year tour and wishes the probability of having an inoperable unit caused by failures exceeding the spare inventory to be less than 0.02? Please show that...

Consider n components of a system having independently exponentially distributed lifetimes so that Xn ~ exp(θ) a) For a single component, find the reliability to time t1 + t2 given that the component has already lived past time t1. Why is the constant failure rate referred to as the “memory-less” property? b) For the series of n components, find an expression for Rs(t). What is the mean lifetime of the system?
