Please use excel formulas when possible: You have a device that uses a single battery, and you operate this device continuously, never turning it off. Whenever a battery fails, you replace it with a brand new one immediately. Suppose the lifetime of a typical batteryhas an exponential distribution with mean 205 minutes. Suppose you operate the device continuously for three days, making battery changes when necessary. Find the probability that you will observe at least 25 failures. (Hint: The number of failures is Poisson distributed.) In the previous problem, we ran the experiment for a certain number of days and then asked about the number of failures. In this problem, we take a different point of view. Suppose you operate the device, starting with a new battery, until you have observed 25 battery failures. What is the probability that at least 15 of these 25 batteries lived at least 3.5 hours? (Hint: Each lifetime is exponentially distributed

Find the probability that the lifetime of his laptop battery is less than 2.5 years and that the lifetime of his tablet battery is less than 3.2 years. (Answer as a decimal number, and round to 3 decimal places).
The lifespans of light bulbs are known to follow an exponential distribution. The exponential distribution, often denoted exp(β), is characterized by a single mean parameter β. The exponential distribution has a unique property that its standard deviation is equal to its mean. Suppose you order 100 light bulbs known to each have lifespans (in years) distributed according to exp(4). What is the probability that the average lifespan of your 100 light bulbs exceeds 5 years? (Using R it possible)
