Marks: 60 Answer any five questions All questions carry equal marks --1.a) State and explain i) Expectation ii) Standard deviation of a distribution. Explain the relation between Poissons and Binomial distributions by deriving necessary expressions. Derive the relation between the Reliability function R(t) and the hazard rate of a component. Show that for exponential distribution MTTF is the reciprocal of the failure rate . What do you mean by MTTF and MTBF? With a neat sketch explain various regions of Bath-tub curve.
