The Normal Conditional Reliability Function

The normal conditional reliability function is given by:

[math]\displaystyle{ R(t|T)=\frac{R(T+t)}{R(T)}=\frac{\int_{T+t}^{\infty }\tfrac{1}{{{\sigma }_{T}}\sqrt{2\pi }}{{e}^{-\tfrac{1}{2}{{\left( \tfrac{t-\mu }{{{\sigma }_{T}}} \right)}^{2}}}}dt}{\int_{T}^{\infty }\tfrac{1}{{{\sigma }_{T}}\sqrt{2\pi }}{{e}^{-\tfrac{1}{2}{{\left( \tfrac{t-\mu }{{{\sigma }_{T}}} \right)}^{2}}}}dt} }[/math]

Once again, the use of standard normal tables for the calculation of the normal conditional reliability is necessary, as there is no closed form solution.
