Question

 Let X be a random variable which represents the lifetime in years of a particular battery. We are given
that X has an exponential distribution with rate λ = .15.

(d) What is the probability that the battery fails between the fifth and sixth year? Show by hand
and provide the appropriate R code.
(e) What is the probability that the battery is still working after three years? Show by hand and
provide the appropriate R code.
(f) What is the probability that the battery is still working after five years, given that the battery is
still working after two years?
(g) You observe a battery who’s lifetime is in the 99th percentile. How long has this battery lasted?
Show by hand and provide the appropriate R code.
