Factor of safety and probability of failure Introduction How does one assess the acceptability of an engineering design? Relying on judgement alone can lead to one of the two extremes illustrated in Figure 1. The first case is economically unacceptable while the example illustrated in the drawing on the right violates all normal safety standards. Sensitivity studies The classical approach used in designing engineering structures is to consider the relationship between the capacity C (strength

Bayes’ theorem describes the relationships that exist within an array of simple and conditional probabilities. For example: Suppose there is a certain disease randomly found in one-half of one percent (.005) of the general population. A certain clinical blood test is 99 percent (.99) effective in detecting the presence of this disease; that is‚ it will yield an accurate positive result in 99 percent of the cases where the disease is actually present. But it also yields false-positive results in 5
