Very interesting exercise about combinatorial theory and Binomial of Newton

in science •  8 years ago 

Hello to all my friends of steemit, after a while away for reasons of study I'm back and I want to show you a very interesting exercise that I did a while ago, here I go:

Consider a k-out-of-n parallel system having a linear hazard rate st for each component. Find a minimum number N(> 32) of components so that minimum reliability R = 0.86 will be reached for t = 100 hours and s = 0:0007 failures per hour. Explain your steps in writing and give the formula for the reliability functions RS(n; t) under relevant parameters. Then compute N using R-programming.

Solution:

To calculate we can use an R-program

q1.jpg

q2.jpg

and we get R = 0:8607474 and N = 1260 is the minimum number of components needed to sustain the reliability of at least 0.86 within 100 hours.

I think it is more of a probability type problem with the choose notation in the binomial formula.

Regardless, it is interesting and R helps with the computations.
