A manufacturer of disk drives for notebook computers wants an MTBF of at least 45,000 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 50,000 hours. Determine the following:
a) Percent of failures
b) Number of failures per unit-hour

(WSSI), has provided you with a proposal forimproving the temperature control on your present machine.The machine uses a hot-air knife to cleanly remove excess solder from printed circuit boards; this is a great concept, butthe hot-air temperature control lacks reliability. According toWing, engineers at WSSI have improved the reliability of thecritical temperature controls. The new system still has the foursensitive integrated circuits controlling the temperature, butthe new machine has a backup for each. The four integratedcircuits have reliabilities of .90, .92, .94, and .96. The fourbackup circuits all have a reliability of .90.a) What is the reliability of the new temperature controller?b) If you pay a premium, Wing says he can improve all fourof the backup units to .93.
