Consider the two distributions in and obtain the reliability assuming competing risk models instead of mixture of failure time distributions. Which assumption leads to conservative estimates of the hazard rate and MTTF?

1. The failure time of a component follows a Pareto distribution with a p.d.f. of

Determine the MTTF of the component and its MRL function.
