Yes, the answer to the question is specific to each system.
But taken over many system, what is the distribution?
Looking at an industry, or field of application, to what extent
should those involved expect there to be a connection between
safety and reliability?
Given enough data (which in this case looks like it may be difficult
to calculate), interesting pictures can emerge.
The classic example is effort estimation, where people bandy about
data from a handful of studies. Data from a few thousand projects
paints a broader picture:
