Explanation of Solution

Downtime calculation for 99% reliability:

When the carrier is 99% reliable, then it means that it is 1% unreliable.

Formula for computing the downtime is given below:

Downtime=(Numberofdaysinayear×Unreliablepercentage)        (1)

Substitute “1%” for “Unreliable percentage” and “365” for “Number of days in a year” in the Equation (1)

Explanation of Solution

Downtime calculation for 99.5% reliability:

When the carrier is 99.5% reliable, then it means that it is 0.5% unreliable.

Substitute “0.5%” for “Unreliable percentage” and “365” for “Number of days in a year” in the Equation (1).

Downtime=(365×0.5%)=365×0.5100=1.825

The number of downtime is 1.825 days.

Note: 1 day = 24 hours.

Numberofdowntimehours=(1.825×24)=43.8

Therefore, the number of downtime hours is “43.8” hours.

Downtime calculation for 99.9% reliability:

When the carrier is 99.9% reliable, then it means that it is 0.1% unreliable.

Substitute “0.1%” for “Unreliable percentage” and “365” for “Number of days in a year” in the Equation (1).

Downtime=(365×0.1%)=365×0.1100=0.365

The number of downtime is 0

Explanation of Solution

Minimum reliability:

Most firms need the reliability of a common carrier to be “100%”. However, this is not a feasible.

The closest reliability percentage most firms consider would be “99.99%” or “99.9%”. Since, their downtime of these reliabilities is less than 9 hours...
