ABC Manufacturing Company has a 2500 KVA Generator Set which is mainly used as a power backup for the main factory. Non-availability of the generator can lead to interruption to the production line. The maintenance department of the company is considering to take preemptive measures to ensure maximum possible uptime of the generator by analyzing the historical data of breakdowns of the generator which was taken from the company's maintenance records. Table T3 shows the frequency of breakdown of the generator set over the past year, which is taken from the company's maintenance records.
