The Weibull distribution is the workhorse of reliability and failure-time analysis.

The math behind it

P(X ≤ x) = 1 − e^(−(x/λ)^k). Shape k < 1 means early failures, k > 1 means wear-out.

Worked Example

k 1.5, λ 100, x 80 → P ≈ 0.51, mean ≈ 90.3.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the shape tell you?

k = 1 is exponential (random failures); k > 1 indicates aging.
