Problems

1- Find the reliability of parallel system as shown in the below figure.

Solution :

R P(𝑡) = 1 – ¿

R P(𝑡) = 1 – ¿ = 0.9997

2-Suppose a system has four identical and independent components. System design
requirements indicate that a minimum of two components must function for the successful
operation of the system. What is the reliability of this system if each component has a
reliability of 0.9.
Solution ;
𝑛 = 4, 𝑘 = 2, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑝 = 0.9
n 4
R P(𝑡) = ∑ C nj p j (1− p ¿n − j = ∑ C 4j p j(1−0.9¿ 4− j =
j=k j=2

4 4 4
C 2 ¿(1−0.9¿ 4−2 + C 3 ¿(1−0.9¿ 4−3 + C 4 ¿(1−0.9¿ 4−4 = 0.9963

3- Suppose that 300 light bulbs are subjected to a reliability test. The manufacturer will
release the bulbs for distribution if the reliability of the bulbs is 0.75 at 2000 hours of
usage. The observed failures during 1000-hour intervals are shown in the table below.
Find the hazard rate for second interval (i=2).

Solution :
Second interval ( at 1000 < t < 2000)
n2 (300−140)
Estimated reliability : ^R (t) = = = 0.95333
N 300
CDF of failure : ^F (t) = 1- ^R (t) = 1-0.9333 = 0.04667
n2−n3 286−283
Failure density : ^f (t) = N (t −t ) = 300(2000−1000) =0.00001
3 2
n2−n3 286−283
Hazard rate : h^ (t) = n (t −t ) = 286(2000−1000) = 0.00001

4-Suppose we have a standby system with one component in standby mode with a constant rate of failure
of 0.02. What is the system reliability at 80 hours.

Solution :
n=1, λ = 0.02, t=80 hr.
R(t) = e− λt (1 + λ t ¿ = e−0.02 ×80 (1 + 0.02 ×80 ¿ = 0.9564

5- Suppose we have a standby system with three non-repairable components in standby mode.
The observed time to failures is 50, 50, and 50 hr. Calculate the MTTF.

Solution :

1 1 1
MTTF = n ∑ ti = 3 ∑ t 1 + t 2 + t 3 = 3 (50+50+50)=50
