Question

The Navy uses a certain type of vacuum tube in a sonar scanning device. Based on past experience, the vacuum tube exhibits the following failure pattern:

Number of Months of Operation    Probability of Failure
1                                                               0.1
2                                                               0.1
3                                                               0.2
4                                                               0.1
5                                                               0.3
6                                                                0.2

Failures during operation cost $200 each, but the tube can be replaced before

failure for $50. Find the optimal replacement strategy.
