A TV system is expected to last for 50000 hours before failure. Assume an exponential distribution for the time until failure.

a) is the distribution skewed or symmetric?

b) what is the standard deviation of the length of time until failure?

c) the system has been working continuously for the past 8500 hours and is still on. What is the expected time from now until failure?

A certain type of pump’s time until failure has an exponential distribution with a mean of 5000 hours. State answers rounded to two decimal places. What is the probability it will still be operating after 3000 hours of service? What is the probability that it will fail prior to 6000 hours of service? If it has been running for 3000 hours, what is the probability it will still be running 2000 hours later?
