The lifetime of a mechanical valve is known to follow a logistic distribution. Ten units were tested for 28 months and the following months-to-failure data was collected.

:• Determine the valve's design life if specifications call for a reliability goal of 0.90.
:• The valve is to be used in a pumping device that requires 1 month of continuous operation. What is the probability of the pump failing due to the valve?
 
This data set can be entered into Weibull++ as follows:

The computed parameters for maximum likelihood are:
 
::<math>\begin{align}
  & \widehat{\mu }= & 22.34 \\
& \hat{\sigma }= & 6.15 
\end{align}</math>
 
:• The valve's design life, along with 90% two sided confidence bounds, can be obtained using the QCP as follows:

:• The probability, along with 90% two sided confidence bounds, that the pump fails due to a valve failure during the first month is obtained as follows:
