failure rates
How often breakdowns
Failure rates measure how often something breaks down, malfunctions, or doesn't work as intended, typically expressed as a percentage or frequency over time.
Engineers and manufacturers track failure rates to assess product reliability and predict when components will need replacement.
In statistics and quality control, failure rate often refers specifically to the probability that a functioning unit will fail within a given time interval.
