Assuming that a failure did not prevent the degraded mode operation, how would the MTBF calculation be made? For the designer's specification, do I have to specify two different MTBF's - one MTBF for the entire system and another MTBF for degraded system? Or do I specify my maximum mission reliability as the minimum for all hardware relevant to the degraded state? I cannot find much written on this degraded scenario.

The failure rate for each of the components are given with a confidence level. One is 40 FITs, the confidence level is 80%, and another one is 15 FITs, the confidence lever is 60%. When I sum the failure rates of these tow components up to calculate the reliability of the circuit, what is the confidence level for the result?
