3. Suppose the lifetimes of two light bulbs (Bulb A and Bulb B) are measured (in 1000 hours) by random variable X and Y, each having exponential distribution with parameter A equal to 0.2 and 0.9 respectively. Assume that X and Y are independent of each other. (a) What is the joint pdf of X and Y? (b) What is the probability that each light bulb lasts at most 1000 hours (Hint: You want to calculate P(X ≤ 1, Y ≤ 1)? (c) What is the probability that Bulb B lasts more than twice as long as Bulb A? (d) What is the probability that the total lifetime of the two bulbs is at most 2000 hours? (e) What is the probability that the total lifetime of the two bulbs is between 1000 and 2000 hours?
