Question

For an electrical component with a failure rate of once every 5 hours, it is important to consider the time that it takes for 2 components to fail. What is the probability that 12 hours will elapse before 2 components fail?

Answer 1

Answer:

Zero

Step-by-step explanation:

Failure Rate = 1 in every 5 hours

It is important to consider the time that it takes for 2 components to fail

* Standard deviation is not given for failure rate hence it is assumed to be zero.

What is the probability that 12 hours will elapse before 2 components fail?

In other words, what is the probability that it takes 12 hours for 2 components to fail?

This probability is = 0

This is because the time it takes for 2 components to fail is 10 hours.

No adjustment can be made for this time, as there is no stipulated standard deviation.
