2.The normal distribution is the most common statistical distribution .
3.The mean and the standard deviation are the two
parameter that define the normal
distribution
5. Concept of Reliability, Maintainability &
Availability
Reliability – The probability that an item can perform a required function under
Given condition for a given time interval
Maintainability – The ability of an item under given condition of use ,to be
Retained in or restored to a state in which it can perform a required
Function when maintenance performed under given condition and using
Stated procedure and resources.
Availability – The ability of an item to be in a state to perform a required
Function under given conditions at a given instant of time or a given interval .
Assuming that the required external resources are provided .
