Answer:

0.7026

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X denote the lifetime of light bulb. Given X \sim Exp(\lambda) where the mean is E(X) = 340 =\frac{1}{\lambda} \implies \lambda = \frac{1}{340} = 0.00294.

Recall that,

\displaystyle P(X>x) = 1 - \int_0^x e^{-\lambda x} = 1 - (1 - e^{-\lambda x} = e^{-\lambda x}

\displaystyle P(X>220 | X>100) = \frac{P(X>220,X>100)}{P(X>100)} = \frac{e^{-\lambda \times 220}}{e^{-\lambda \times 100}} = \frac{0.5236}{0.7452} = 0.7026

What is 3/8 plus 1/12
Delvig [45]
first what you have to do you have to find the common denominator which is 24
it's 24 because 8 times 3 equals 24 and 12 times 2 equals 24 so they have a like denominator so what you have to do to the bottom you have to do to the top so 8 times 3 is 24 so 3 times 3 is 9 so the new fraction is 9/24. Then 1/12 12×2=24 and 1×2= 2 so the new fraction is 2/24. that would leave you with the problem of 9/24 + 2/24 which is 11/ 24
