Question

A light fixture contains five lightbulbs. The lifetime of each bulb is exponentially distributed with mean 199.0 hours. Whenever a bulb burns out, it is replaced. Let be the time of the first bulb replacement. Let X1, = 1, . . . , 5, be the lifetimes of the five bulbs. Assume the lifetimes of the bulbs are independent.

 

1. Find P( X1 > 100). (Round the final answer to four decimal places.)

2. Find P( X1 > 100 and   X2 > 100 and • • • and   X5 > 100). (Round the final answer to four decimal places.)

3. Find P(≤ 100). (Round the final answer to four decimal places.)

4. Let be any positive number. Find P(≤ t), which is the cumulative distribution function of T.

5. Find the mean of T. (Round the final answer to two decimal places.)
