Please answer a,b, and show steps if possible. Do not randomly write wrong answers if don't know how to solve. Thank you
Resistors used in the construction of an aircraft guidance system have
life lengths that follow a Weibull distribution with m = 2 and a = 10 (with measurements in
thousands of hours).
a
Find the probability that the life length of a randomly selected resistor of this type exceeds
5000 hours.
b
If three resistors of this type are operating independently, find the probability that exactly
one of the three will burn out prior to 5000 hours of use.
