The options that is not true for the survivor curve representing the rate at which the hard drives of new computer would have to be retired from the following options:
(A) Some of the equipment is retired during the first year of service.
(B) Some equipment survives three average lives.
(C) More than half the equipment survives the average life.
(D) Increasing the average life of equipment by using more durable materials would increase the number surviving at every age.
(E) The number of survivors never reaches zero.
when the equation of the survivor curve is as follows,
Where, Lx is the number of surviving hard drive at age x, L0 is the initial number of hard drives and t is the average life in years.
