Probabilité de panne d'un système à 3 machines
Probabilité de panne d'un système à 3 machines
With Machine A's failure probability reduced to 0.01, the new probability of the system failing becomes 1 - (0.99 * 0.97 * 0.99) = 0.06907. The decrease in Machine A's failure probability reduces the system's failure probability .
The probability that Machine A is faulty, given that the system has failed, is 0.05. Since the occurrence of Machine A failing guarantees the system's failure, P(A|E) is calculated as P(A) divided by P(E), leading to P(A|E) = 0.05 / 0.09 = 0.56 or 56% .
A real-world implication of a drastically decreased probability of system failure could be enhanced reliability and safety, which may lead to cost savings in maintenance and increased trust from users or clients. This might also result in competitive advantage if the system is part of a commercial product .
The independence of machines A, B, and C allows for the direct multiplication of their probabilities of functioning to find the joint probability of all machines not failing. This simplifies the calculation as P(A' ∩ B' ∩ C') = P(A') * P(B') * P(C') which is used to compute the probability of system failure as its complement .
Increasing Machine B's reliability to 0.99 would decrease the system's failure probability, as the probability of failure becomes 1 - (0.95 * 0.99 * 0.99) = 0.05655. This improved reliability of Machine B increases the overall reliability of the system .
If the machines were not independent, joint probabilities could not be computed by mere multiplication of individual probabilities. Instead, one would need additional information about how machine failures are correlated, possibly using conditional probabilities or employing simulation or more complex statistical methods to estimate the probability of system failure .
If the failure probability of Machine C increases to 0.02, the new probability of system failure would be 1 - (0.95 * 0.97 * 0.98) = 0.10946. The increase in the failure probability of Machine C makes it slightly more likely the entire system will fail .
Machine A's failure is most likely to lead to a system failure because it has the highest individual probability of failing (0.05) compared to Machines B (0.03) and C (0.01). This means it plays a larger role in possible system failures .
Machines operating independently means the functioning or failure of one machine does not influence or is not affected by another. This assumption is critical because it allows probabilities for each machine to be simply multiplied to calculate combined probabilities, simplifying the determination of overall system behavior .
The probability of the system failing is 0.09. This is calculated by determining the complement of the event that all machines are functioning, hence P(system fails) = 1 - P(A' ∩ B' ∩ C') = 1 - (0.95 * 0.97 * 0.99) = 0.09 .
