Many electronics follow a failure rate described by an exponential probability density function (PDF). Solar panels are advertised to last 20 years or longer, but panels made in China are failing at a higher rate. The time-to-failure of this device is usually exponentially distributed with mean 13 years. What is the probability of failure in the first 5 years

Answer:

The right answer is "0.3193".

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question,

Mean,

[tex]\frac{1}{\lambda} = 13[/tex]

[tex]\lambda = \frac{1}{13}[/tex]

As we know,

The cumulative distributive function will be:

⇒ [tex]1-e^{-\lambda x}[/tex]

hence,

In the first 5 years, the probability of failure will be:

⇒ [tex]P(X<5)=1-e^{-\lambda\times 5}[/tex]

                    [tex]=1-e^{-(\frac{1}{13} )\times 5}[/tex]

                    [tex]=1-e^(-\frac{5}{13})[/tex]

                    [tex]=1-0.6807[/tex]

                    [tex]=0.3193[/tex]
