Refer back to the series-parallel system configuration introduced in, and suppose that there are only two cells rather than three in each parallel subsystem eliminate cells 3 and\({\bf{6}}\), and renumber cells \(4\) and \(5\) as \(3\) and \(4\). The probability that system lifetime exceeds t0 is easily seen to be \(.{\bf{9639}}\). To what value would \(.9\) have to be changed in order to increase the system lifetime reliability from \(.{\bf{9639}}\)to \(.{\bf{99}}\)? (Hint: Let P(Ai ) 5 p, express system reliability in terms of p, and then let x 5 p2 .)

\({{\rm{p}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.949}}{\rm{.}}\)

Step by step solution

01

Using the clue \({\rm{P}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{i}}}} \right){\rm{ = p,i = 1,2,3,4}}\) and renumbering the cells

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{\rm{P}}\left( {{\rm{\{ \;system lifetime exceeds\;}}{{\rm{t}}_{{\rm{ - 0\} }}}}{\rm{)}}} \right.{\rm{ = P}}\left( {\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{C}}{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{2}}}} \right){\rm{E }}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{C}}{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{4}}}} \right)} \right)}\\{\mathop {\rm{ = }}\limits^{{\rm{(1)}}} {\rm{P}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{C}}{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{2}}}} \right){\rm{ + P}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{C}}{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{4}}}} \right)}{{\rm{ - P}}\left( {\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{C}}{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{2}}}} \right){\rm{C}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{3}}}{\rm{C}}{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{4}}}} \right)} \right)}\\ {\mathop {\rm{ = }}\limits^{{\rm{(2)}}} {\rm{P}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{1}}}} \right){\rm{*P}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{2}}}} \right){\rm{ + P}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{3}}}} \right){\rm{*P}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{4}}}} \right)}{{\rm{ - P}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{1}}}} \right){\rm{*P}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{2}}}} \right){\rm{*P}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{3}}}} \right){\rm{*P}}\left( {{{\rm{A}}_{\rm{4}}}} \right)}\\{{\rm{ = }}{{\rm{p}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ + }}{{\rm{p}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ - }}{{\rm{p}}^{\rm{4}}}{\rm{ = 2}}{{\rm{p}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ - }}{{\rm{p}}^{\rm{4}}}{\rm{.}}}\end{array}\)

(1): we utilize the statement given below,

(2): we derive the multiplication property from the proposition given below (since the occurrences are unrelated).

the proposition given below (since the occurrences are unrelated).

Proposition: There should be two events for every two events. \({\rm{A}}\)and \({\rm{B}}\)are two different types of

\({\rm{P(A脡 B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A脟B)}}\)

Two occurrences \({\rm{A}}\)and \({\rm{B}}\)are independent if and only if they have the same multiplication property. \({\rm{P(A脟B) = P(A)*P(B)}}\)

02

calculating the probability

The chance of a system lifetime surpassing \({{\rm{t}}_{\rm{0}}}\)is supplied to us.

\({\rm{2}}{{\rm{p}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ - }}{{\rm{p}}^{\rm{4}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.99}}\)

Set \({\rm{x = }}{{\rm{p}}^{\rm{2}}}\)in order to answer this problem.

\({\rm{2x - }}{{\rm{x}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.99}}\)

or, alternatively

\({{\rm{x}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ - 2x + 0}}{\rm{.99 = 0}}{\rm{.}}\)

where \({\rm{a = 1,b = - 2}}\)and \({\rm{c = 0}}{\rm{.99}}\)are the values. This indicates that the quadratic equation's solutions are

\({{\rm{x}}_{{\rm{12}}}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{ - b \pm }}\sqrt {{{\rm{b}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ - 4ac}}} }}{{{\rm{2a}}}}{\rm{ = }}\frac{{{\rm{2 \pm }}\sqrt {{{\rm{2}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ - 4*1*0}}{\rm{.99}}} }}{{{\rm{2*1}}}}\)

03

Calculating the probability

The first option is

\(\begin{matrix}{{\text{x}}_{\text{1}}}\text =&\frac{\text{2+}\sqrt{{{\text{2}}^{\text{2}}}\text{-4*0}\text{.99}}}{\text{2}}\text{ }\!\!\hat{\mathrm{U}}\!\!\text{ } \\ {{\text{x}}_{\text{1}}}\text =& \frac{\text{2+}\sqrt{\text{0}\text{.04}}}{\text{2}}\text{ }\!\!\hat{\mathrm{U}}\!\!\text{ } \\ {{\text{x}}_{\text{1}}}\text =&1\text{.1}\text{.} \\ \end{matrix}\)

and the second alternatives

\(\begin{matrix}{{\text{x}}_{\text{2}}}\text=&\frac{\text{2-}\sqrt{{{\text{2}}^{\text{2}}}\text{-4*0}\text{.99}}}{\text{2}}\text{ }\!\!\hat{\mathrm{U}}\!\!\text{ } \\ {{\text{x}}_{\text{2}}}\text =&0 \text{.9}\text{.} \\ \end{matrix}\text{ }\!\!\hat{\mathrm{U}}\!\!\text{ }\)

From the \({\rm{x = }}{{\rm{p}}^{\rm{2}}}\),\({\rm{p > 0}}\)

\({\rm{p}}_{\rm{1}}^{\rm{2}}{\rm{ = 1}}{\rm{.1}}\;\;\;{\rm{脹}}\;\;\;{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{ = }}\sqrt {{\rm{1}}{\rm{.1}}} \;\;\;{\rm{脹}}\;\;\;{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{1}}}{\rm{ = 1}}{\rm{.049}}\)

And \({\rm{p}}_{\rm{2}}^{\rm{2}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.9}}\;\;\;{\rm{脹 }}\;\;\;{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = }}\sqrt {{\rm{0}}{\rm{.9}}} \;\;\;{\rm{脹 }}\;\;\;{{\rm{p}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.949}}{\rm{.}}\).

Because \({\rm{p}}\) is a probability, and a probability cannot be greater than \({\rm{1}}\), the only solution is \({{\rm{p}}_{\rm{2}}}{\rm{ = 0}}{\rm{.949}}{\rm{.}}\)

Most popular questions from this chapter

A quality control inspector is examining newly produced items for faults. The inspector searches an item for faults in a series of independent fixations, each of a fixed duration. Given that a flaw is actually present, let p denote the probability that the flaw is detected during any one fixation (this model is discussed in 鈥淗uman Performance in Sampling Inspection,鈥 Human Factors, \({\rm{1979: 99--105)}}{\rm{.}}\)

a. Assuming that an item has a flaw, what is the probability that it is detected by the end of the second fixation (once a flaw has been detected, the sequence of fixations terminates)?

b. Give an expression for the probability that a flaw will be detected by the end of the nth fixation.

c. If when a flaw has not been detected in three fixations, the item is passed, what is the probability that a flawed item will pass inspection?

d. Suppose \({\rm{10\% }}\) of all items contain a flaw (P(randomly chosen item is flawed) . \({\rm{1}}\)). With the assumption of part (c), what is the probability that a randomly chosen item will pass inspection (it will automatically pass if it is not flawed, but could also pass if it is flawed)?

e. Given that an item has passed inspection (no flaws in three fixations), what is the probability that it is actually flawed? Calculate for \({\rm{p = 5}}\).

According to July \(31, 2013\), posting on cnn.com subsequent to the death of a child who bit into a peanut, a \(2010\) study in the journal Pediatrics found that \(8\% \)of children younger than eighteen in the United States have at least one food allergy. Among those with food allergies, about \(39\% \)had a history of severe reaction.

a. If a child younger than eighteen is randomly selected, what is the probability that he or she has at least one food allergy and a history of severe reaction?

b. It was also reported that \(30\% \) of those with an allergy in fact are allergic to multiple foods. If a child younger than eighteen is randomly selected, what is the probability that he or she is allergic to multiple foods?

The population of a particular country consists of three ethnic groups. Each individual belongs to one of the four major blood groups. The accompanying joint probability table gives the proportions of individuals in the various ethnic group-blood group combinations.

Suppose that an individual is randomly selected from the population, and define events by \({\rm{A = }}\)\{type A selected), \({\rm{B = }}\) (type B selected), and \({\rm{C = }}\) (ethnic group \({\rm{3}}\) selected).

a. Calculate\({\rm{P(A),P(C)}}\), and \({\rm{P(A{C}C)}}\).

b. Calculate both \({\rm{P(A}}\mid {\rm{C)}}\)and \({\rm{P(C}}\mid {\rm{A)}}\), and explain in context what each of these probabilities represents.

c. If the selected individual does not have type B blood, what is the probability that he or she is from ethnic group\({\rm{1}}\)?

Components arriving at a distributor are checked for defects by two different inspectors (each component is checked by both inspectors). The first inspector detects \({\rm{90\% }}\)of all defectives that are present, and the second inspector does likewise. At least one inspector does not detect a defect on \({\rm{20\% }}\)of all defective components. What is the probability that the following occur?

a. A defective component will be detected only by the first inspector? By exactly one of the two inspectors?

b. All three defective components in a batch escape detection by both inspectors (assuming inspections of different components are independent of one another)?

One of the assumptions underlying the theory of control charting is that successive plotted points are independent of one another. Each plotted point can signal either that a manufacturing process is operating correctly or that there is some sort of malfunction.
