<h1>Expected Failure Time Plot</h1>
<p>When a reliability life test is planned it is useful to visualize the expected outcome of the experiment. The Expected Failure Time Plot (introduced by ReliaSoft in Weibull++ 8)provides such visual.
</p>
<h2> Background &amp; Calculations  </h2>
<p>Using the cumulative binomial, for a defined sample size, one can compute a rank (Median Rank if at 50% probability) for each ordered failure. As an example and for a sample size of 6 the 5%, 50% and 95% ranks would be as follows:
</p><p><br />
</p>
<table border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" width="400" align="center">
<caption> Table 1: 5%, 50% and 95% Ranks for a sample size of 6.&nbsp;
</caption>
<tr>
<th bgcolor="#cccccc" valign="middle" scope="col" align="center"> Order Number

<p>89.09%
</p>

<p>99.15%
</p>
</td></tr></table>
<p><br />
</p><p>Furthermore, consider that for the units to be tested the underlying reliability model assumption is given by a Weibull distribution with <span class="texhtml">&beta; = 2</span>, and <span class="texhtml">&eta; = 100</span> hr.  Then the median time to failure of the first unit on test can be determined by solving the Weibull reliability equation for t, at each probability,
</p><p>or
</p><p><img _fckfakelement="true" _fck_mw_math="R(t)=e^{\big({t \over \eta}\big)^\beta}" src="/images/math/9/b/2/9b21aed609d5cefddaae485bbfbc3a2f.png" />
</p><p>then for 0.85%,
