An application of the Monte Carlo Method

After we continued with Taguchi quality control, we sketched the idea of Monte Carlo integration. We need to compute integrals to calculate means and standard deviations. In the second paragraph of chapter 2 of the textbook we consider the problem of computing the mean time between failures of a product composed of several components. The problem is solved in the textbook with MATLAB. If you follow the links below you will see the Maple solution:
