Given the company's performance metrics and assuming all failures occurred during operational hours, what are the MTBF and MTTR for the organization's server maintenance and repair process?

• MTBF: 1,000 hours/failure, MTTR: 2 hours

• MTBF: 2,000 hours/failure, MTTR: 6 hours

• MTBF: 2,920 hours/failure, MTTR: 6 hours

• MTBF: 1,460 hours/failure, MTTR: 18 hours
