A signal processor software is expected to operate for 91.25 days after repair and the mean software repair time is expected to be 5 minutes, then the availability of software is —

  1. A.

    96.9862%

  2. B.

    97.9862%

  3. C.

    98.9862%

  4. D.

    99.9962%

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Availability is defined as: A = MTBF / (MTBF + MTTR).

Given MTBF = 91.25 days and MTTR = 5 minutes.

  • Convert MTTR to days: 5 min = 5/(60×24) days = 5/1440 ≈ 0.0034722 days.

  • Compute availability: A = 91.25 / (91.25 + 0.0034722) ≈ 91.25 / 91.2534722 ≈ 0.99996196.

  • Convert to percentage: A × 100 ≈ 99.9962%.

So the software availability is about 99.9962%.
