On average, computers crash after 109,000 hours of continuous use. Although the time for the computer to crash is random, researchers have found that the duration until the computer crashes follows an exponential probability distribution. b. What is the probability that the computer will crash with a usage time of more than 109,000 hours? c. What is the probability that no computer will fail after more than 109,000 hours of use?
