DLP projectors are used in the majority of cinema projection systems and require a special light bulb to display a picture. Assume that the average life of a DLP bulb is 2,000 hours and that this failure time follows the exponential distribution. Answer the following questions, performing all computations with Excel functions.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Let X be the failure time follows the exponential distribution.  

X~Pois(1/2000)

Mean=rate=2000

(a) P(X<2100)=? 

(b) P(X>1800)=? 

(c) P(1500<X<2200)=? 

Note: According to Bartleby guidelines expert solve only one question and maximum three subpart of the first question and rest can be reposted.
