Answer:

E(x) = \frac{1}{2} -- Component A

E(x) = \frac{1}{3} -- Component B

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Distribution = Exponential

\lambda = 2 --- Component A

\lambda = 3 --- Component B

Solving (a): The mean time of A

The mean of an exponential distribution is:

E(x) = \frac{1}{\lambda}

We have:

\lambda = 2 --- Component A

E(x) = \frac{1}{2}

Solving (b): The mean time of B

The mean of an exponential distribution is:

E(x) = \frac{1}{\lambda}

We have:

\lambda = 3 --- Component B

E(x) = \frac{1}{3}
