weibull analyze and failure rate

[sirin]

If the Failure rate=1.2 is in a sample and Failure rate=0.02 is in the other sample, how can I explaine this stuation?

Hi Sirin,

What do you mean explain? Failure rate is dependent upon time. Are these values calculated at the same point in time? Are they instantaneous failure rates? The general equation for the instantaneous failure rate is given at http://www.weibull.com/LifeDataWeb/the_failure_rate_function.htm. Is your goal specified in terms of failure rate?
