Question
The failure data of 10 electronic components are shown in the table given below:
| Failure Number | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | ||||
| Operating Time (in hours) | 3 | 5 | 31 | 51 | 76 | 116 | 140 | 182 | 250 | 302 | ||||
Estimate, the

To estimate the reliability, we can use the following formula: R(t) = exp(-λt) where R(t) is the reliability at time t, and λ is the failure rate. To estimate λ, we can use the following formula: λ = (n - 1) / Σ(ti - ti-1) where n is the number of failures, ti is the operating time of the i-th failure, and ti-1 is the operating time of the (i-1)-th failure.
Using the given data, we can compute the values as follows:
| i | ti | ti-1 | ti - ti-1 | λ | R(t) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3 | 0 | 3 | 0.003333 | 0.996675 |
| 2 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 0.003333 | 0.993362 |
| 3 | 31 | 5 | ______ _______ __________ _______ ______.
