Question:

=+40. When used to model lifetimes of components, a probability distribution is said to be “memoryless”

if, for a component that has already lasted (without failure) for t hours, the probability that it lasts for another s hours does not depend on t. That is, P(x $ t 1 sux $ t) 5 P(x $ s). Show that the exponential distribution is memoryless.
