2. (a) Define the hazard function h(t) and the reliability function R(t) and derive
the relationship between them
(b) The hazard function of a component is given by h(t)=(1+0.5t)×10−2/hour
Calculate the reliability of the component for a mission time of 10hours.

(b) Seven pumps have failure times of 15.1,10.7,8.8,11.3,12.6,14.4 and 8.7 months.
Assuming exponential distribution, estimate the reliability of the pump at
t=12months.
