&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Solution&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because the starting time for each system is equal to zero and each system has an equivalent ending time, the general equations for &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\widehat{\beta }\,\!&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\widehat{\lambda }\,\!&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; reduce to the closed form equations. The maximum likelihood estimates of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\hat{\beta }\,\!&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; and &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\hat{\lambda }\,\!&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; are then calculated as follows: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\widehat{\beta }=  \frac{\underset{q=1}{\overset{K}{\mathop{\sum }}}\,{{N}_{q}}}{\underset{q=1}{\overset{K}{\mathop{\sum }}}\,\underset{i=1}{\overset{{{N}_{q}}}{\mathop{\sum }}}\,\ln (\tfrac{T}{{{X}_{iq}}})} = 0.45300 &amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\widehat{\lambda }=  \frac{\underset{q=1}{\overset{K}{\mathop{\sum }}}\,{{N}_{q}}}{K{{T}^{\beta }}} =  0.36224 \,\!&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The system failure intensity function is then estimated by:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\widehat{u}(t)=\widehat{\lambda }\widehat{\beta }{{t}^{\widehat{\beta }-1}},\text{ }t&amp;gt;0\,\!&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next figure is a plot of &amp;lt;math&amp;gt;\widehat{u}(t)\,\!&amp;lt;/math&amp;gt; over the period (0, 3000). Clearly, the estimated failure intensity function is most representative over the range of the data and any extrapolation should be viewed with the usual caution.&lt;br /&gt;
