ASQ Certified Quality Engineer (CQE) — Question 58

Reliability prediction is -
I. The process of performance estimation.
II. The process of estimating the probability that a product will perform its intended function for a stated time.
III. The process of telling "how you can get there from here".

Answer options

• A. I only
• B. II only
• C. II and III only
• D. I, II and III

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as reliability prediction specifically focuses on estimating the probability of a product performing its intended function over a defined period. While I describes performance estimation, it does not encompass the probabilistic aspect, and III is unrelated to reliability prediction.
