Suppose that you have ten lightbulbs, that the lifetime ofeach is independent of all the other lifetimes, and that eachlifetime has an exponential distribution with parameter l.a. What is the probability that all ten bulbs fail beforetime t?b. What is the probability that exactly k of the ten bulbsfail before time t?c. Suppose that nine of the bulbs have lifetimes that areexponentially distributed with parameter l and thatthe remaining bulb has a lifetime that is exponentiallydistributed with parameter u (it is made byanother manufacturer). What is the probability thatexactly five of the ten bulbs fail before time t?
