Question
A lamp has 3 light bulbs. Each lightbulb has a life span that corresponds to a random variable X, for
i = 1, 2, 3, measured in hours, with pdf given as
e-*/2000
fx (a) = {}
0
2000
O (1-e-3/4)3
O (1-e-1/2)3
Assume that all the lightbulbs are independent. Lightbulbs are not replaced until all of them stop
working. Find the probability that the lamp will work less than 1,500 hours.
