(a) A lamp has two bulbs, each of a type with average lifetime 1400 hours. Assuming that we can model the probability of failure

of these bulbs by an exponential density function with mean μ = 1400, find the probability that both of the lamp's bulbs fail within 1700 hours. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Answer:

For first lamp ; The resultant probability is 0.703

For both lamps; The resultant probability is 0.3614

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the lifetime hours of two bulbs

X∼exp(1/1400)

f(x)=1/1400e−1/1400x

P(X<x)=1−e−1/1400x

X∼exp⁡(1/1400)

f(x)=1/1400 e−1/1400x

P(X<x)=1−e−1/1400x

The probability that both of the lamp bulbs fail within 1700 hours is calculated below,

P(X≤1700)=1−e−1/1400×1700

=1−e−1.21=0.703

The resultant probability is 0.703

Let Y be a lifetime of another lamp two bulbs

Then the Z = X + Y will follow gamma distribution that is,

X+Y=Z∼gamma(2,1/1400)

2λZ∼

X+Y=Z∼gamma(2,1/1400)

2λZ∼χ2α2

The probability that both of the lamp bulbs fail within a total of 1700 hours is calculated below,

P(Z≤1700)=P(1/700Z≤1.67)=

P(χ24≤1.67)=0.3614

The resultant probability is 0.3614
