Two components that operate independently

Reference no: EM131130934

A machine is made up of two components that operate independently. The lifetime X_i (in days) of component i has an exponential distribution with parameter , for i ~ 1,2.

Suppose that the two components are placed in series and that as soon as a component fails, it is replaced by a new one. Let N(t) be the number of replacements in the interval (0,t]. We can show that the stochastic process
