3-52. Operators of a medical linear accelerator are inter- ested in estimating the number of hours until the first software failure. Prior experience has shown that the time until failure is normally distributed with mean 1000 hours and standard de- viation 60 hours. (a) Find the probability that the software will not fail before 1140 hours of operation. (b) Find the probability that the software will fail within 900 hours of operation.
