Assume that a new light bulb will burn out after [math]t[/math]
hours, where [math]t[/math] is chosen from [math][0,\infty)[/math] with an exponential density
[[math]]
f(t) = \lambda e^{-\lambda t}\ .
[[/math]]
In this context, [math]\lambda[/math] is often called the failure rate of the bulb.
- Assume that [math]\lambda = 0.01[/math], and find the probability that the bulb will not burn out before [math]T[/math] hours. This probability is often called the reliability of the bulb.
- For what [math]T[/math] is the reliability of the bulb [math] = 1/2[/math]?
