(a) A lamp has two bulbs, each of a type with average lifetime 1300 hours. Assuming that we can model the probability of failure of these bulbs by an exponential density function with mean ? = 1300, find the probability that both of the lamp's bulbs fail within 1500 hours. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) Another lamp has just one bulb of the same type as in part (a). If one bulb burns out and is replaced by a bulb of the same type, find the probability that the two bulbs fail within a total of 1500 hours. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Can I get help with just parts C and D please.
The Striket Riche Company has begun drilling for oil. It anticipates 130 hour of drilling time before reaching the oil. Experience has shown that the drill bits it uses in this type of rock formation have a lifetime that is lognormal with tmed = 2 hr and s=0.91. The company currently has 35 drill bits available. What is the probability of striking oil before it runs out of bits?
can you please expand and explainn this problem
2 The operator of a pumping station has observed that demand for water during early afternoon hours has an approximately exponential distribution with mean 100 cfs (cubic feet per second). (a) Find the probability that the demand will exceed 250 cfs during the early afternoon on a randomly selected day. (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) What water-pumping capacity, in cubic feet per second, should the station maintain during early afternoons so that the probability that demand will exceed capacity on a randomly selected day is only 0.02? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) cfs

A individual, with a utility function lnW and an initial wealth level W0, is faced with a fair gamble of winning or losing $h (where W0 > h > 0) with 50-50 chance. (a) Is this individual risk averse? Explain.(b) Suppose that the individual is willing to pay up to an amount of f in order to avoid such a gamble. Give the equation that determines f, and solve the equation for f (i.e., express f in terms of W0 and h). (c) Show that f increases as h increases.
