A SEAL Team is preparing for a 6-month deployment and is working on developing a plan for the outboard motors used in their 15 Combat Rubber Raiding Craft (CRRCs). One outboard is used for each CRRC. An outboard motor has an MTBF of 1,500 hours. Each motor is expected to be used 30 hours per month of deployment. Once on deployment, it will be very difficult to acquire a new outboard motor so the skipper is demanding a 98% chance to have enough outboard motors to execute the mission successfully.
a. What is the probability (accurate to 4 digits after the decimal point) that 2 or more of the outboard motors used during this deployment will fail? Assume that a motor cannot fail more than once during this deployment.
b. How many spare motors should be brought on this deployment to satisfy the skipper request?
c. What is the maximum protection level (accurate to 4 digits after the decimal point) that the skipper must accept if only 3 spare motors are available to support this deployment?
