A holiday wreath has 8 light bulbs connected in series. What would have to be the reliability of each bulb if there were a 95% chance of the string's lighting after a year's storage?To investigate the average time to failure of a certain weld subjected to continuous vibration, 7 welded pieces were subjected to specified frequencies and amplitudes of vibration and their times to failure were 211, 350, 384, 510, 539, 620, and 715 thousand cycles.

Then, the reliability is defined as R = P(Y > X] = fx) gly)dxdy -00 = where F(x) is the distribution function of X. Evaluate this reliability when (a) X has an exponential distribution with o = 0.01 and Y has an exponential distribution with failure rate 0.005; (b) X has an exponential distribution with o = 0.005 and Y has an exponential distribution with failure rate 0.005; (c) In X has a normal distribution with / = 60 and o = 5 and In Y has a normal distribution with p = 80 and o = 5.In a laboratory experiment, 18 determinations of the coefficient of friction between leather and metal yielded the following results: 0.59, 0.56, 0.49, 0.55, 0.65, 0.55, 0.51, 0.60, 0.56, 0.47, 0.58, 0.61, 0.54, 0.68, 0.56, 0.50, 0.57, and 0.53.
