Concept explainers
Reliability of a robotic device. The reliability of a piece of equipment is frequently defined to be the probability, p, that the equipment performs its intended
- a. Graph the analyst’s probability distribution for p.
- b. Find the
mean and variance of p. - c. According to the analyst’s probability distribution for p, what is the probability that p is greater than .95? Less than .95?
- d. Suppose the analyst receives the additional information that p is definitely between .90 and .95, but that there is complete uncertainty about where it lies between these values. Describe the probability distribution the analyst should now use to describe p.
