    Operation time vs percentage of duty time - how to calculate MTBF?

    Thank you for your reply. Well, I see your point but I'm still a bit confused... I don't fully understand what is wrong. Can you please clarify? I still think that operational time in both cases should be the same... But the answers are from the same... So I'm doing this completely wrong...

    Operation time vs percentage of duty time - how to calculate MTBF?

    I need some help to figure out how to do some calculations correctly.   I have made a RBD and then I want to calculate the MTBF and the availability using exponential failure rate. Ok, so far so good but what I don't get is the difference when changing operation time or using percentage of duty...
