2. Make a table contains the time interval, failure density or f(t), hazard rate or h(t), reliability or
R(t), and unreliability or F(t). Then calculate the value of each by inserting the formula.
3. Create 4 graphs (the plots of failure density f(t), hazard rate h(t), reliability R(t), unreliability F(t)).
Each of the graph has the same procedure to conduct. The steps to create the graph is by inserting
the value of the horizontal axes, those 4 graphs are using the time interval as the horizontal value.
Then insert the value of vertical axes with each of the value in the table (block the value in column
f(t) for the failure density graph, block the value in column h(t) for the hazard rate graph, and so
forth. These all are done by clicking Insert in excel menu, and click the Chart (bar chart) with 0 gap
width. Then add another important information, such as the Graph Title (simply by clicking at the
title and edit), add the Axes Title (for the vertical is f(t) or h(t) etc and the horizontal is Time
Interval (hours)).
