ABSTRACT
The initial presentation in this chapter on normal distributions will focus on failure rate, but can be simply applied to all other applications involving normal distributions. When T, time to failure, has a normal distribution, its probability distribution function (pdf) is given by() f ( t ) = 1 2 π σ exp [ − 1 2 ( t − μ σ ) 2 ] ; − ∞ < t < ∞ https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780429124754/be33da89-95f5-45e7-a067-f2fa13b8eb97/content/eq904.tif"/>
