Question: Consider a parallel system consisting of two independent components whose time to failure distributions are exponential with parameters μ1 and μ2, respectively (μ1 μ2). Show

Consider a parallel system consisting of two independent components whose time to failure distributions are exponential with parameters μ1 and μ2, respectively (μ1 ‰  μ2). Show that the time to failure distribution of the system is not IFR.
R(t) = P{T, >tor T2 > t} = 1- P{T, <t and T2 < t) = 1- (1 - e-(1- e).

R(t) = P{T, >tor T2 > t} = 1- P{T,
