I recall that MTBF is a key performance indicator for systems, so I would lean towards true, but I should double-check my notes just to be safe.

I feel a bit confused here. Wasn't there something about mean time to repair (MTTR) that we discussed? I hope I don't mix them up.

I remember a similar question about reliability metrics, and I think this one is true. MTBF does refer to the average time between failures.

I think MTBF is definitely about the average time between failures, but I'm not 100% sure if that's the exact wording we practiced.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. MTBF is the average time between consecutive failures, so the statement must be true. I'll select A.

Ah, I remember learning about MTBF in one of my engineering classes. I'm pretty confident I know what it means, so I'll go with my first instinct on this.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know MTBF has something to do with failures, but I want to double-check the definition to make sure I understand it fully before answering.
