Question

We want to compare the quality of three Tablet products: Tablet Product A has a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) 10,000 hours, and a Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) or 10 hours. Product B has a MTBF of 11,000 hours and a MTTR of 11 hours. Product C has a MTBF of 12,000 hours and MTTR of 12 hours. Which tablet has better Availability

Answer 1

The Availability of tablets A,B and C are equal

Explanation:

Computation for Which tablet has better Availability

Using this formula

Availability of Tablet=MTBF/ ( MTBF + MTTR)

Where,

MTBF represent Mean Time Between Failures

MTTR represent Mean Time To Repair

Let plug in the formula

Availability of Tablet A = 10,000hrs/(10,000hrs + 10hrs)

Availability of Tablet A= 0.999

Availability of tablet B = 11,000hrs/( 11,000hrs + 11hrs )

Availability of Tablet B= 0.999

Availability of Tablet C = 12,000hrs/ ( 12,000hrs + 12hrs)

Availability of Tablet C= 0.999

Based on the above calculation the Availability of all the 3 tablets are equal

Therefore the Availability of tablets A,B and C are equal.
