Answer:

a) 0.1353

b) 0.3679

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by defining the random variable T.

T : ''The time (in hours) required to repair a machine''

T ~ exp (λ)

T ~ exp (1)

The probability density function for the exponential distribution is

(In the equation I replaced λ = L)

f(x)=Le^{-Lx}

With L > 0 and x ≥ 0

In this exercise λ = 1 ⇒

f(x)=e^{-x}

For a)

P(T>2)

P(T>2)=1-P(T\leq 2)

P(T>2)=1-\int\limits^2_0 {e^{-x} } \, dx

P(T>2)=1-(-e^{-2}+1)

P(T>2)=e^{-2}=0.1353

For b)

P(T\geq 10/T>9)

The event (T ≥ 10 / T > 9) is equivalent to the event T ≥ 1 so they have the same probability of occur

P(T\geq 10/T>9)=P(T\geq 1)

P(T\geq 1)=1-P(T

P(T\geq 1)=1-(-e^{-1}+1)=e^{-1}=0.3679
