-The conditional reliability function for the 1-parameter exponential distribution is given by:
-<br>
-::<math>R(T,t)=\frac{R(T+t)}{R(T)}=\frac{{{e}^{-\lambda (T+t)}}}{{{e}^{-\lambda T}}}={{e}^{-\lambda t}}</math>
-<br>
-which says that the reliability for a mission of  <math>t</math>  duration undertaken after the component or equipment has already accumulated  <math>T</math>  hours of operation from age zero is only a function of the mission duration, and not a function of the age at the beginning of the mission. This is referred to as the "memoryless property".
