Abstract

This paper discusses, with examples, uses of the terms Mean Time To Failure (MTTF) and Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) in a variety of contexts. Especially, this paper points out how the same terms are explained and understood in a variety of meanings, and in very many cases are misinterpreted and misunderstood.
