4. A microprocessor that controls the tuner in color TVs fails completely at random (that is, according to the exponential distribution). Suppose that the likelihood that a microprocessor that has survived for k years fails in year k + 1 is .0036. What is the cumulative distribution function of the time until failure of the micro- processor?
