Suppose that you have ten lightbulbs, that the lifetime of each is independent of all the other lifetimes, and that each lifetime has an exponential distribution with parameter λ .

a. What is the probability that all ten bulbs fail before time t?

b. What is the probability that exactly k of the ten bulbs fail before time t?

c. Suppose that nine of the bulbs have lifetimes that are exponentially distributed with parameter λ and that the remaining bulb has a lifetime that is exponentially distributed with parameter θ (it is made by another manufacturer). What is the probability that exactly five of the ten bulbs fail before time t?
