17.5 A manufacturing of disk for notebook computers wants an MTBF of at least 50,000 hours.

Recent test results for 10 units were one failure at 10,000 hours, another at 25,000 hours, and two
more at 45,000 hours. The remaining units were still running at 60,000 hours. Determine the
following:

a) Percent of failures

b) Number of faiures per unit-hour

c) MTBF at this point in the testing
