Two lighting systems are being proposed for an employee work area. One requires fifty bulbs, each having a probability 0.05 of burning out within a month's time. The second has one hundred bulbs, each with a 0.02 burnout probability. Whichever system is installed will be inspected once a month for the purpose of replacing burned-out bulbs. If we compare the probabilities that each will require at least one
