Calculate the reliability of a hard disk drive with an MTBF of 4,622 hours during the crucial last 16 hours of the last fiscal quarter—the three-month period beginning on October 1 and ending on December 31. Assume e 5 2.71828, and use the reliability formula from the previous exercise.

Answer:

R(16) = 99.7%

Explanation:

Mean Time Before Failure, MTBF = 4622 hours

The reliability is to be calculated for the last 16 hours, t =16 hrs

The relationship between the reliability and MTBF is given by:

[tex]R(t) = e^{\frac{-t}{MTBF} }[/tex]

[tex]R(16) = e^{\frac{-16}{4622} }[/tex]

R(16) = 0.997

R(16) = 99.7%

Answer:

2.714

Explanation:

With MTBF of 4622 hours during the last 16 hours, reliability is according to the formula:

Reliability (t)=e-(1/MTBF)

(t)=e-(16/4622)

=e-0.0034617

=2718-0.0034617

=2.714
