Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
You have a performance function defined as F(x) = 4x + 2. Integrate this function over the probability distribution of x ranging from 0 to 1 to find the mean value.
💡 Hint: Set up the integral limits based on the problem.
In a structural analysis, you want to evaluate the reliability index using Monte Carlo. If you perform 10,000 simulations and find that 100 resulted in failure, calculate the probability of failure.
💡 Hint: How did you arrive at that number?
