Question

The semi-conductor used in the Rolex wrist calculator has five circuits,
each of which has its own reliability rate.

Component one has a reliability of .90;
Component two,.95;
Component three, .98;
Component four, .90;
Component five, .99.

Calculate the Reliability. 

Backup component of 0.95 was added to component two
and 0.99 to component five. Calculate the new reliability rate.

Does the addition of backup components make a difference in the
reliability rate of questions a and b above? Explain. 

Ten high-intensity bulbs are tested for 100 hours each.
One failed at 40 hours; another failed at 70 hours; all others
completed the test.
Calculate FR(%), FR(N), and MTBF.
