ACME manufacturing has implemented an accelerated life testing program for their new product design. A total of 40 units were tested at four different pressure levels. The operating stress level is 170 psi. The following table shows the data from the test. Determine the parameters of the inverse power law Weibull model and obtain the use level probability plot with 90% 2-sided confidence bounds on time.
