Question 193
A server crashes on average once in 30 days, that is, the Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) is 30 days. When this happens, it takes 12 hours to reboot it, that is, the Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) is 12 hours. The availability of server with these reliability data values is approximately :
A
96.3%
B
97.3%
C
98.3%
D
99.3%
Question 193 Explanation: 
Given data,

— Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)= 30 days

— Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) =12 hours.

— Availability=?

Step-1: First we have to convert number of days into hours

30 days= 30 * 24 = 720 hour.

Step-2: The availability of a system is

Availability = MTBF / (MTBF + MTTR)

= 720 / (720 + 12)

= 0.9836 (or) 98.36%

Correct Answer: C
