Event
Probability relates to events Let as an example A be the event that there is an operator
error in a control room next year, and B be the event that there is a specific component failure next year i.e.: A = {operator error next year} B = {component failure next year}
An event may occur, or not. We do not know that in advance prior to the experiment or a situation in the “real life”.

Probability
When events are defined, the probability that the event will occur is of interest
Probability is denoted by Pr(·), i.e. Pr(A) = Probability that A (will) occur The numeric value of Pr(A) may be found by:
Studying the sample space / symmetric considerations Analysing collected data Look up the value in data hand books “Expert judgement” Laws of probability calculus/Monte Carlo simulation

Sample space
The sample space defines all possible events As an example let A = {It is Sunday}, B = {It is Monday}, .. ,
G = {It is Saturday}. The sample space is then given by S = {A,B,C,D,E,F,G} So-called Venn diagrams are useful when we want to
analyze subset of the sample space S.

Venn diagram
A rectangle represents the sample space, and closed curves such as a circle are used to represent subsets of the sample space

Union
The union of two events A and B: A B denotes the occurrence of A or B or (A and B)
Example A = {prime numbers 6) B = {odd numbers 6} A B = {1,2,3,5}
S A B
![Page 7: 1 Basic probability theory Professor Jørn Vatn. 2 Event Probability relates to events Let as an example A be the event that there is an operator error.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56649ec85503460f94bd5cc7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Intersection
The intersection of two events A and B: A B denotes the occurrence of both A and B
Example A = {prime numbers 6) B = {odd numbers 6} A B = {3,5}
S A B

Disjoint events
A and B are said to be disjoint if they can not occur simultaneously, i.e. A B = Ø = the empty set
S A B

Complementary events
The complement of an event A is all events in the sample space S except for A.
The complement of an event A is denoted by AC
Example A = {even numbers) AC = {odd numbers}

Probability
Probability is a set function Pr() which maps events A1, A2,... in the sample space S, to real numbers
The function Pr() can only take values in the interval from 0 to 1, i.e. probabilities are greater or equal than 0, and less or equal than 1

Kolmogorov basic axioms
1. 0 Pr(A)
2. Pr(S) = 1
3. If A1, A2,... is a sequence of disjoint events we shall then have Pr(A1 A2 ...) = Pr(A1) + Pr(A2) + ...
Everything is based on these axioms in probability calculus
![Page 12: 1 Basic probability theory Professor Jørn Vatn. 2 Event Probability relates to events Let as an example A be the event that there is an operator error.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56649ec85503460f94bd5cc7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Conditional probability
In some situations the probability of A will change if we get information about a related event, say B
We then introduce conditional probabilities, and write: Pr(A|B) = the conditional probability that A will occur
given that B has occurred
Example: Probability of pulling ace of spade is 1/52, but if we have seen a “black” card, the conditional probability is 1/26
![Page 13: 1 Basic probability theory Professor Jørn Vatn. 2 Event Probability relates to events Let as an example A be the event that there is an operator error.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56649ec85503460f94bd5cc7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Independent events
A and B are said to be independent if information about whether B has occurred does not influence the probability that A will occur
Pr(A|B) = Pr(A)
Example: We are both pulling a card and tossing a dice in a composed experiment. The probability of pulling ace of spade (A) is independent of the event getting a six (B)
![Page 14: 1 Basic probability theory Professor Jørn Vatn. 2 Event Probability relates to events Let as an example A be the event that there is an operator error.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56649ec85503460f94bd5cc7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Basic rules for probability calculus
Pr(A B) = Pr(A) + Pr(B) - Pr(A B) Pr(A B) = Pr(A) Pr(B) if A and B are independent Pr(AC)
= Pr(A does not occur) = 1 - Pr(A) Pr(A|B) = Pr(A B) / Pr(B)
![Page 15: 1 Basic probability theory Professor Jørn Vatn. 2 Event Probability relates to events Let as an example A be the event that there is an operator error.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56649ec85503460f94bd5cc7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Example
Let A = {It is Sunday} B = {It is between 6 and 8 pm) A and B are independent but not disjoint We will find Pr(A B) and Pr(A B)
Pr(A B) = Pr(A) Pr(B) =
Pr(A B) = Pr(A)+ Pr(B) - Pr(A B) =

Example
Assume we have two redundant shut-down valves, ESDV and PSDV that could be used in an emergency situation Pr(ESDV-failure)=0.01 Pr(PSDV-failure)=0.005
Assuming independent failures give a total failure probability of 0.01 0.005 = 510-5

Division of the sample space

Example
A special component type is ordered from two suppliers A1 and A2
Experience has shown that components from supplier A1 has a defect probability of 1%
components from supplier A2 has a defect probability of 2%
In average 70% of the components are provided by supplier A1
Assume that all components are put on a common stock, and we are not able to trace the supplier for a component in the stock
A component is now fetched from the stock, and we will calculate the defect probability, Pr(B)

Exercise
Successful evacuation depends on the available evacuation time, A1 = short evacuation time Pr(A1) = 1% A2 = medium evacuation time Pr(A2) = 20% A3 = long evacuation time Pr(A3) = 79%
The probability of successful evacuation (B) is given by: Pr(B| A1) = 50% Pr(B| A2) = 75% Pr(B| A3) = 95%
Find Pr(B) by the law of total probability

Random quantities
A random quantity (stochastic variable), is a quantity for which we do not know the value it will take, but We could state statistical properties of the quantity
or make probability statement about it Whereas an event may occur, or not occur (B&W), a
random quantity is related to a magnitude, it may take different values
We use probabilities to describe the likelihood of the different values the random quantity can take Cumulative distribution function (S-curve) Probability density function (histogram)

Expectation
The expectation of a random quantity X, may be interpreted as the long time run average of X, if an infinite amount of observations are available

Variance
The variance of a random quantity expresses the variation of X around the expected value in the long run

Standard deviation The standard deviation of a random quantity expresses a
typical “distance” from the expected value

Life times
In reliability theory we work with life times The life time, or time to failure, is the time it takes from a
component is installed, until it fails for the first time Life times are non-negative random quantities For life times we introduce the following concepts
R(x) = Pr(X > x) = 1- FX(x) MTTF = Mean Time To Failure = E(X)
![Page 33: 1 Basic probability theory Professor Jørn Vatn. 2 Event Probability relates to events Let as an example A be the event that there is an operator error.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56649ec85503460f94bd5cc7/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

34
Distribution classes
Life times are often associated with various distribution classes, e.g. in reliability analysis we often apply the following distribution classes The exponential distribution The Weibull distribution The gamma distribution The normal distribution
![Page 35: 1 Basic probability theory Professor Jørn Vatn. 2 Event Probability relates to events Let as an example A be the event that there is an operator error.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56649ec85503460f94bd5cc7/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
The exponential distribution
The exponential distribution is a very simple distribution which could be used if no aging affects the component under consideration
Often external or internal shocks dominates the failure causes if the exponential distribution is used
For the exponential distribution we have fX(x) = e-x
FX(x) = 1-e-x
R(x) = e-x
E(X) =1/ Var(X) = 1/2
is a parameter in the distribution (the failure rate)
![Page 36: 1 Basic probability theory Professor Jørn Vatn. 2 Event Probability relates to events Let as an example A be the event that there is an operator error.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56649ec85503460f94bd5cc7/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Example
We will obtain the probability that X is greater than it’s expected value. We then have:
Pr(X > E(X)) = R(E(X)) = e-E(X ) = e -1 0.37 i.e., most likely it will not survive the expected life time
![Page 37: 1 Basic probability theory Professor Jørn Vatn. 2 Event Probability relates to events Let as an example A be the event that there is an operator error.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042718/56649ec85503460f94bd5cc7/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Example
Assume the life time, X, of a component is exponentially distributed with parameter = 0.01
We will find the probability that the component that has survived 200 hours, will survive another 200 hours
Pr(X > 400 |X > 200) = Pr(X > 400 X > 200)/Pr(X > 200) =Pr(X > 400)/Pr(X > 200) =R(400)/R(200) = e-400/ e-200 = e-200 = Pr(X > 200) Thus, an old component is stochastically as good as a
new component

38
For the Weibull distribution we have R(x) = e-(x)
is a shape parameter, > 1 means aging
MTTF =
Var(X) =

39
Reparameterization of the Weibull
The Weibull distribution has two parameters: a = shape or aging parameter l = scale parameter
The relation between l and MTTF is MTTF =
In many situations it is easier to work with a and MTTF, rather than a and l

40
Example
We will find the probability that a component that has survived 200 hours, will survive another 200 hours given that the life time is Weibull distributed with parameter = 2 and = 0.01
Pr(X > 400 |X > 200) = Pr(X > 400 X > 200)/Pr(X > 200) =Pr(X > 400)/Pr(X > 200) =R(400)/R(200) = e-(400)2/ e-(200)2 e-(350)2 < Pr(X > 200)
Thus, an old component is not as good as a new one

The hazard rate, z(t)
The hazard rate is the precise term for the so-called bathtub curve, also denoted failure rate funciton:
z(t) = f(t)/R(t) z(t)t Probability of failure in a small time interval (t )

Example of hazard rates
Exponential distribution z(t) = = constant
Weibull distribution z(t) = ()(t) -1 t -1 = increasing in time t for > 1
Preventive maintenance is often based on the idea of ”taking away” the right hand side of the hazard rate curve
