  1. To minimize system downtime
  2. To maximize system performance
  3. To reduce system costs
  4. To enhance system security
Question 2 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

Which metric is commonly used to measure the availability of a system?

  1. Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)
  2. Mean Time To Repair (MTTR)
  3. Availability
  4. Reliability
Question 3 Multiple Choice (Single Answer)

What is the relationship between MTBF and MTTR in terms of availability?
