The product formula requires independent failure times. This assumption is not stated in the original PDF. Under that intended assumption, put and use the failure probabilities for two independent lifetimes:
Its graph is a cubic increasing from to , convex before reaching its plateau.
Without independence, the marginal distributions do not determine . The Fréchet inequalities give the sharp pointwise bounds
For example, taking and with the same uniform random variable preserves both prescribed marginals but gives , rather than .
