An anthropology student proposes to model lifetimes of the human inhabitantsof an island using the failure rate functionK, t20r(t)to,t<0where K is a positive constant.(a) Find the reliability function under this model.(b) Give at least two clearly expressed reasons why the proposed model is notsensible in this context.

The failure rate function proposed by the student is given as: r(t)=K ; t≥0 and 0 ;…
