Assume that the probability that an airplane engine will fail during a torture test is 12and that the aircraft in question has 4 engines. Construct a sample space for the torture test. Use S for survive and F for fail.
Exponential Distribution has a memoryless property. Intuitively, it means that the probability of customer service answering you call (assuming waiting time is exponential) in the next 10 mins is the same, no matter if you have waited an hour on the line or just picked up the phone. Formally, if X ∼ exponential(λ), f(x) = λ exp(-λx), and t and s are two positive numbers, use the definition of conditional probability to show that P(X > t + s | X > t) = P(X > s). Hint: Find the cdf of X first, and note that P(X > t + s Ç X > t) = P(X > t + s)

How can I do this problem in excel? The time between arrivals of vehicles at a particular intersection follows an exponential probability distribution with a mean of 10 seconds. (a) Sketch this exponential probability distribution. A graph with 1 continuous curve is given. The area under the curve is shaded. The horizontal axis is labeled: x and ranges from 0 to 30. The vertical axis is labeled: f(x) and ranges from 0 to 0.15. The curve begins near (0, 0.06) and curves down to the right. It leaves the viewing window near (30, 0.01).
