The following table shows the time between failures (in hours) observed for a piece of software:
Error number 1 2 3 4 5 Time since last failure (hours) 6 4 8 5 6
Assuming an exponential reliability model, what is the reliability of the system for one hour of operation?
| Error number | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Time since last failure (hours) | 6 | 4 | 8 | 5 | 6 |
