I am reading a reference that says, with [itex]f(x)[/itex] being the failure probability density function, reliability of a system with that PDF can be expressed as [itex]1 - \int_0^t f(x) dx[/itex]. For a given t, this gives a number. Next, the same reference says that the mean time to failure of the system, [itex]MTTF = \int_0^\infty R(t) dt[/itex]. How is this possible? R(t) returns a number, integrating to infinity over a constant returns infinity...
I guess I am missing some concept.
Thanks
