𝐴.(1−𝛽/𝛼)<𝑍<(𝛽/1−𝛼),
𝐵.(𝛽/1−𝛽)<𝑍<(𝛼/1−𝛼)
𝐶.(𝛼/𝛽)<𝑍<(1−𝛼)/(1−𝛽),
𝐷.(𝛽/1−𝛼)<𝑍<(1−𝛽/𝛼)

B. f0 = (1/ ε)f(t/ ε),
C. f0 = (1/ ε)f(ε / t),
D. f0 = (1/ ε)f(t/ ε) 2
6. The average U.S. dollar/Euro exchange rate from a sample of 36 monthly observations is $1.00/Euro. The population variance is 0.49. What is the 95% confidence interval for the mean U.S. dollar/Euro exchange rate?
A. $0.8657 to $1.1343,
B. $0.5100 to $1.4900,
C. $0.763 to $1.236,
D. $0.8075 to $1.1925,

A. Decreases by ½,
B Decreases by ¼,
C. Increases by 2,
D. Increases by 4
8. A system has three subsystems with a reliability of R. System success requires that at least two of the subsystems operate. The system reliability can be calculated as:
A. 3R3-2R2,
B. 3R2-2R3
C. 3R2-2R3
D. 2R2-3R3
9. If the system reliability of this system is 0.93, what is the reliability value for component A?
A. 0.94,
B. 0.93
C. 1.29
D. 0.92
10. An electronic system reliability block diagram shows as the following:
What is the system Failure Rate in FITS?
NOTE: The sub‐system failure rate is in FITs. FITs = Failures per billion operating hours
A. 1500,
B. 3000,
C. 4000,
D. 5000
Ans:
Subsystem #1 FR in FITS=1500/1E9
Subsystem #2 FR in FITS=1500/1E9
Subsystem #3 FR in FITS=2000/1E9
So, System FR= 1500/1E9+ 1500/1E9 + 2000/1E9= 5000/1E9
