The data are given in the TurbineEngineDesign1.jmp sample data table, found in the Reliability subfolder. For each failure that occurred, the number of days since test initiation was recorded in the column Day. The number of failures on a given day, or equivalently, the number of required fixes, was recorded in the column Fixes.
