Q. 1 Let the life time of a device, T have the pdf f (t) = 1/t2 for 1 ≤ t <
∞. Determine the reliability function and the failure rate function.

Q. 2 Three components are arranged in series. Moreover, suppose that


their respective lifetimes are mutually independent with exponential
distribution having failure rates 0.003, 0.01 and 0.008. Determine
the reliability and the failure rate of the series system. What is the
mean time to failure of this system ? Evaluate R(E(T)).

Q. 3 Suppose that probability that a device will survive a shock is 2/3,


if shocks arrive at the rate of 0.6 according to Poisson distribution,
find the expected life time of the device.

Q. 4 Let arrival of shock follow Poisson Process with rate 0.15. Suppose
a device can take maximum 3 shocks. Find R(10).

Q. 5 Suppose the time to failure of a device follows Uniform distribution


on (0, 2) (in yrs). Find the conditional probability that the device
will fail in 1.05 yrs given that it worked 1 year.

Q. 6 Consider a series system of 3 independent components each of which


functions for an amount of time (in yrs) Uniformly distributed over
(0, 10). Find the expected system life.

Q. 7 Consider a series system of three independent components and the


life length of each component follows uniformly distribution over
(0, 10). (i) Find the reliability of the system. (ii) Find the expected
system life.

Q. 8 Consider a system consisting of eight components . The system


consists of five assemblies in series, where assembly 1 consists of
component 1 with reliability 0.99, assembly II consists component 2
and 3 in parallel with reliability 0.95 and 0.95, assembly III consists
component 4,5,6 in parallel with reliability 0.96, 0.92, 0.85, assembly
IV and V consist of component 7 and 8 with reliability 0.95, 0.82
respectively. calculate system reliability.

Q. 9 Probability that a device can survive after 0,1,2,3,4 or more shocks


are 1,0.8,0.4,0.2, 0 respectively. If the arrival of shocks follow Pois-
son process with λ = 0.15, find R(10).
