Two designs for a critical component are being investigated. During prototype testing, it was found that the time to failure is Weibull distributed with a minimum life of zero. Design A has Weibull parameters of β=2 and η=100 Design B has Weibull parameters of β=3 and η=100 hours.
The component has a 10-hour guaranteed life. Assuming both component cost about the same. Which design should the manufacturer produce and why?
The Beta parameter is greater than 1 in both the cases. This means that the failure rate increases with time in both the cases. Also we have the same eta parameter for both the designs thus it will not affect our judgement
If beta > 1, higher the beta, higher is the failure rate with passing time. Hence we will pick the design with a lower Beta value, i.e. Design A

A new version of the operating system is being planned for installation into your department’s production environment. What sort of testing would you recommend is done before your department goes live with the new version? Identify each type of testing and describe what is tested. Explain the rationale for performing each type of testing. [ your answer goes here ] Would the amount of testing and types of testing to be done be different if you were installing a security...
1. When testing gas pumps for accuracy, fuel-quality enforcement specialists test pumps and found that 1346 of them were not pumping accurately (within 3.3 ox when 5 gal is pumped), and 5612 pumps were accurate. Use a 0.01 significance level to test the claim of an industry representative that less than 20% of the pumps are inaccurate. Use a test for a population proportion. 2. In 1997, a survey of 820 households showed that 144 of them use email. Use...
7. Smokers are known to have about 50% higher CL than nonsmokers for theophylline. If the average observed AUC after administration of 300 mg IV theophylline in nonsmokers is 100 mg.hr/L, what is the expected AUC in smokers after administration of the same 300 mg dose? Theophylline undergoes linear pharmacokinetics 2. After administration of a single 400 mg dose of a drug, a linear plot of the serum concentration-time prorile on a semi-log graph paper showed a y-intercept of 1mg/mL...
LO 2 8-47 Target costing Mercedes-Benz All Activity Vehicle (AAV)'3 Introduction During the recession beginning in the early 1990s, Mercedes-Benz (MB) struggled with product development, cost efficiency, material purchasing, and problems in adapting to changing mar- kets. In 1993, these problems caused the worst sales slump in decades, and the luxury car maker lost money for the first time in its history. Since then, MB has streamlined the core business, re- duced parts and system complexity, and established simultaneous engineering...
