Hello Everyone,
I don't get how the following values are calculated in this example:
Can anyone explain it a bit more?
@Mohammadali Dastgheib
Just to clarify my question:
I am okay with R(t) values. It makes perfect sense.
I am okay with lambda values; it is the inverse of the MTBF values.
I just don't get how the MTBF values are calculated.

Hello Mohammad, I have attached an example for your question that I had from one of the reliability seminars I took with Elsayed, hope you can open it.
basically 1- calculate the failure density function f(t)
2- Calculate Hazards rate h(t)
3- divide f(t)/h(t) to get R (reliability.
Note: when you calculate h(t) you have to remove previous failures from total survived units.

pages 13-35, and see examples like the on the right on pages 33-35.
