The optimal scheduling of preventative maintenance tests of some (but not all) of n independently operating components was developed. The time (in hours) between failures of a component was approximated by an exponentially distributed random variable with mean 1300 hours. [Round to 4 decimal places where necessary.]
1. Find the probability that the time between a component
failures ranges is at least 1600 hours.
2. Find the probability that the time between a component failures
ranges between 1600 and 1900 hours.
3. Suppose a component is still working after 1600 hours, find the conditional probability that it will fail before 1900 hours.
4. If 9 components are tested, find the probability that at least 2 of them failed between 1600 and 1900 hours
5. Suppose 9 components are tested. What is the probability that 2 of them failed between 1600 and 1900 hours?
