Book 1

This document contains solutions to multiple reliability problems. Problem 5 calculates the reliability of a system with 3 modules as 0.9315. Problem 7 compares the reliability of two plans, finding Plan 2 to be better with a reliability of 0.9934. It notes Plan 2 will only fail if a component and its backup fail, unlike Plan 1. Problem 19 calculates availability for two scenarios, finding 0.93 availability with an MTBF of 40 days, and 0.98 availability with an MTBF of 300 hours.

PROBLEM 2

Answer :

Part 1 0.96
Part 2 0.96
Part 3 0.99
Part 4 0.99
Reliability 0.9033

PROBLEM 5

Answer :
a. Module 1 0.97
Module 2 0.97
Module 3 0.99
0.9315

b. 0.9315 + 0.0685 x 0.9315 =

c. 0.9315 + 0.0685 x 0.98 x

PROBLEM 7

Answer :

a. Which plan will provide the higher reliability?


Reliability 0.99 Plan 1 0.884
0.96
0.93 Plan 2 0.99
0.883872 0.96
0.93

Plan 2 is better (.9934 > .9865)

b. Explain why the two reliabilities are not the same.


Answer : With plan 1 the system will fail if any one original and any backup fail
With plan 2 the system fail only if a component and its backup fail.

c. What other factors might enter into the decision of which plans to adopt?
Answer : Space for a line versus space for individual backups, ease of shifting to back
when needed, possible cost differences.
PROBLEM 19 :

Answer : Availability = MTBF


MTBF + MTR

a. MTBF = 40 Days, average repair time = 3 days

Availability = 40 = 0.93
40 + 3

b. MTBF = 300 Hours, average repair time = 6 hours

Availability = 300 = 0.98


300 + 6
0.9953

0.9315 = 0.99403

+ 0.116 x 0.884 = 0.9865

+ 0.01 x 0.99 = 0.9999


+ 0.04 x 0.96 = 0.9984
+ 0.07 x 0.93 = 0.9951
0.9934
Plan 2 is better (.9934 > .9865)

original and any backup fail


ponent and its backup fail.

plans to adopt?
al backups, ease of shifting to backups
