Probability of Failure Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Probability of Failure?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

q = \frac{n L}{n W + n L}

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

q = \frac{8}{12 + 8}

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

q = \frac{8}{12 + 8}

LAST Step Evaluate

∴

q = 0.4
