Twenty low-intensity bulbs are tested for 120 hours each. One failed at 40 hours; all others completed the test. Calculate FR(%), FR(N) and MTBF.
Low-Intensity Bulbs
Light bulbs that emit a lower level of brightness compared to standard lighting options, often used to save energy.
FR(%)
An abbreviation possibly referring to Financial Ratio or Failure Rate, both of which quantify different business or operational metrics.
MTBF
Mean Time Between Failures, a measure used to predict the reliability and durability of a product or system.
- Compute the failure rate, ascertain the mean time between failures (MTBF), and analyze their importance within the context of reliability engineering.
Verified Answer
MTBF = 2320 hours
