Answer:

Failure Rate

Step-by-step explanation:

Failure rate is the frequency with which an engineered system or component fails, expressed for example in failures per hour.

It is often denoted by the Greek letter λ (lambda) and is important in reliability theory.

Failure rate is usually time dependent, and an intuitive corollary is that the rate changes over time versus the expected life cycle of a system
