When multiplying by multiples of 10, move the decimal place one place over to the right. 44,000 becomes 440,000.
2 x (n - 6)
(2 x n - 2 x 6)
(2n - 2 x 6)
2n - 12
The exponential distribution is:

where

The probability we want is how likely will a dvd player last more than 8 years, given it has already lasted 5 years
To find this, you use conditional probability.

where A is P(x>8) and B is P(x>5)
To find these probabilities, integrate over the distribution:

Sub into conditional probability formula:

Final Answer: Given a dvd player is more than 5 years old, the probability that it will last another 3 more years is about 54.9%
Let the two numbers be x and y.
Let m = the fraction (or percentage) for increasing the numbers.
Increase x by 5, multiply (x+5) by (1+m), and set it qual to 36.
(x + 5)*(1 + m) = 36
Increase y by 5, multiply (y+5) by (1+m), and set it equal to 36.
(y+5)*(1+m) = 36
Therefore
(x+5)*(1+m) = (y+5)*(1+m)
x + 5 = y + 5
x = y
x - y = 0
Answer: 0.
The difference between the two numbers is zero.
