There's also Latex and Pdf files in case anyone would be interested..

Also, another interesting question is - what's the probability that variable X2 'survives' certain x while X1 fails. In this case you will have p = pdfX1 * (1 - CDFX2) nice exposition :) you should maybe mention that the two variables are independent though to avoid confusion and for P(AB) = P(A).P(B) to be applicable..
