Answer:
0.9177
Step-by-step explanation:
let us first represent the two failure modes with respect to time as follows
R₁(t) for external conditions
R₂(t) for wear out condition ( Wiebull )
Now,
where t = time in years = 1,
n = failure rate constant = 0.07
Also,
where t = time in years = 1
where Q = characteristic life in years = 10
and B = the shape parameter = 1.8
Substituting values into equation 1
Substituting values into equation 2
let the <em>system reliability </em>for a design life of one year be Rs(t)
hence,
Rs(t) = R1(t) * R2(t)
t = 1
Rs(1) = 0.9177 (approx to four decimal places)
