📋 What to do

Slide for [In-Class Activity] Explain It: Reliability Functions
  1. Your group has been assigned 1 of our 6 types of core failure and reliability functions: F(t) Failure Function, R(t) Reliability Function, f(t) Change in Failure Function, z(t) Failure Rate (Hazard Rate), H(t) Accumulative Hazard Rate, AFR(t1, t2) Average Failure Rate.
  2. 0.1 Open the Team Boards and choose the topic “Explain It Reliability”.
  3. 0.2 Pick the problem for your assigned function. Which function is your team's?
    • F(t) — on-campus teams A, G, M, S; DL teams 1, 7
    • R(t) — on-campus teams B, H, N; DL teams 2, 8
    • f(t) — on-campus teams C, I, O; DL teams 3, 9
    • z(t) — on-campus teams D, J, P; DL teams 4, 10
    • H(t) — on-campus teams E, K, Q; DL teams 5, 11
