Re: [MBZ] Bathtub and bell curves
Edward, The feedback was general directed to everyone. The bell curve is more correctly called a standard, normal curve. There is also a proper name for a bathtub curve but I don't remember it right now. The right side of the curve may take on the shape of a bell curve for items like a light bulb, in this case it's a standard normal curve the early failures are termed outliers. But with some products, the line continues to rise when MTBF is approached with others, the line flattens out when MTBF is approached. In these cases, the curve can-not be made to resemble a standard normal curve, regardless of the scale used.

A bathtub curve tends to be more one sided, with most failures on the tail end. A bell curve is balanced. - Tom If you say so. I have been wrong or mistaken before; it is/will not be a new experience. But then, I'm not a statistician, I'm just a guy who uses simple statistics in engineering applications. Statistics is the science that deals with the art of making decisions in the face of uncertainty. I usually merely need to make sense of data which approximate a normally distributed random variable, so the high powered statistical methods are not a regular part of my thing. I presume you shared your insight on this with Mitch also, who told us about the bathtub curve, thus: More like the antithesis of the bell curve. A 'normal distribution' bell curve peaks at the mean and drops off on both sides. The 'bathtub' as he describes it, has peaks on both ends and a wide trough in the middle. - Mitch. There was someone speaking to this before Mitch, I know not whom. The one sided curve you describe sounds to me something like a sort of chi-squared distribution with a good many degrees of freedom. Or perhaps it is no more than a comparison of time to failure versus cumulative number of failures. All things fail in the end. Nothing lasts forever. Some things come closer than others. I don't find anything called bell or bathtub in my old statistics references. Presumably these are laymen's terms describing the density function of the normal distribution in the bell case and something else, I really know not what, in the bathtub case. As defined by Mitch, the bathtub case sounds like a simple upside down plot of a normally distributed random variable, which we must all admit would look like what Mitch described. We may always plot and display our data however we wish. In my old academic discipline, some types of data are conventionally plotted always in the second quadrant. I know of no particular reason why that is a better presentation or leads to more insightful analysis. It's just done that way. But it is all fun. Have nice day. Robert .

the terrible hypocricy of the mercenary college athletes. but in big time college athletics, it seems little else matters but winning and everyone just supports the shirt and doesn't get too concerned about the guy who is wearing it. at least when you watch harvard vs yale or army vs navy you can be reasonably confident that the players on the field have something to do with being student at the educational institutions they are representing. at georgia or georgia tech, you can be reasonably sure they aren't.

Re: [MBZ] AC bungholery
Toyota, Benz, and Nissan, along with occasional US makers, used that compressor. Nippondenso, don't have the model number handy. Used in the W126, W124 chassis, Camry, Accord, and other. Take a look. Check the low pressure switch for a short first, and check to make sure the clutch is good (although the system should fault and toss out the compressor if the clutch is slipping). Reed valves are on the ends of the piston chambers in the compressor, NS without dissasembly. Watch when you take it out -- if there is gray crud all over, you really need to flush the you-know-what out of it and install a filter in the suction line, else the new compressor will follow the old. Best to replace everything, sadly.

Jump on the Metro and go into DC - all the museums are free and really cool.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Help a lost lister
Every time I visited DC, which used to be a couple of times a year, I always went to the National Archives to view the Bill of Rights and Constitution for the very first stop. A very, very powerful place. The Vietnam Vet's memorial is good, too, but people don't seem to be as respectful around it as they used to. Since you'll be there a month, definitely get a ticket for the Holocaust Museum. Another very powerful place. Air and Space Museum at the Smithsonian is good, too, but don't go on a weekend - it will be packed. One thing I never realized until I started going there was that the memorials are open 24/7. I went into the city once to take some night photos around the Mall, and I was amazed that there were tour buses pulling up to the Lincoln Memorial at 2:00 in the morning.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Help a lost lister
Sunil, I lived in the DC/MD/VA area for too many years until I retired in '99. First rule is use the Metro. There is a Bethesda Stop.And pick up one of the Metro Maps. The one fault w/the system is that Georgetown didn't want/get a stop! Otherwise, it's all you need if you just want to be in the metro area. Other places you'll need a car. But stay off the Beltway, it's a circular parking lot most of the time. I'd suggest the Air and Space Museum, the Smithsonian, Natural History Museum, Archives, the National Cathedral, .. And oh, you could call your senator and representative and meet w/them. If you request it, you can get an American flag that has flown over the Capitol... If you do get a car, try to see the Air and Space Annex at Dulles International Airport... Go to the top of the Washington Monument - great view. I don't know if they allow anyone to walk up anymore, but it's 555 feet tall. Otherwise there is an elevator. You will fill up all your free time for a month being a tourist and have stuff left over to see. Enjoy.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Help a lost lister
I disagree. If you are willing to walk a few blocks, the metro system will get you almost anywhere you'd need to go (as a tourist). If the subway doesn't go there, you can hop a bus at the subway stop. I worked in DC for almost a decade and don't recall ever taking a cab or driving to anything other than Arlington Cemetery. The only reason we drove in to work (vanpool) was because there wasn't a metro stop as far south as I lived.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Help a lost lister
I like the Metro stop in Georgetown. It's got one of the longest escalators I've ever seen in my life. My Dad was staying in Georgetown while he was being treated for cancer at the university. I can remember going up that escalator really trashed more than once. It was awesome.

A very, very powerful place. The Vietnam Vet's memorial is good, too, but people don't seem to be as respectful around it as they used to. Since you'll be there a month, definitely get a ticket for the Holocaust Museum. Another very powerful place. Air and Space Museum at the Smithsonian is good, too, but don't go on a weekend - it will be packed. One thing I never realized until I started going there was that the memorials are open 24/7. I went into the city once to take some night photos around the Mall, and I was amazed that there were tour buses pulling up to the Lincoln Memorial at 2:00 in the morning. Be very, very careful about using a cab. If the system is still in place, the cabs are zoned, meaning that if you get the wrong cab, you'll get gouged for going from one zone to another. Dan --- Rich Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Jump on the Metro and go into DC - all the museums are free and really cool. You will also need to see Arlington Cemetery, the monuments, the Capitol, White House, etc. And go down to Georgetown for some good drinks and eats and drinks.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Help a lost lister
ok, you are with a party of 4 and are staying in arlington. you can walk for 15 minutes and take the damn train so you can be where you are going in an hour. this will cost you like 7 bucks. or you can walk into a cab right in front of the hotel and be there in 10 minutes for 12 bucks. it's a no brainer as far as i can see. it's also a disgusting town . every sort of welfare make work government parasite clogging the place up. mass hysteria over whether or not your aged mother is a terrorist. a city so corrupt that it has disarmed decent citizens in an effort to give criminals as much as edge over you as possible. armed hoodlums guarding every street corner as your government fears you mean them harm (little do they know that you are too stupid and complacent to have even thought that far ahead) a disgusting place. the sickest place i've ever seen in my life.
