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 a visual. Figure 1 below shows such a plot for h a sample size of 5 and an assumed Weibull distribution with β = 2 and η = 2,000 hrs and at a 90% confidence.

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:

Furthermore, consider that for the units to be tested the underlying reliability model assumption is given by a Weibull distribution with <span class="texhtml" siber__q92dpb7seovvtbh5__vptr="7108080" sourceindex="77">β = 2</span>, and <span class="texhtml" siber__q92dpb7seovvtbh5__vptr="7108010" sourceindex="78">η = 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,
 
or
 
R(t)=e^{\big({t \over \eta}\big)^\beta}
 
then for 0.85%,
 
<br>1-0.0085=e^{\big({t \over 100}\big)^2}
 
<br>
 
and so forths as shown in the table below:
