On average, TV crash after 17,000 hours of continuous use. Although the time for the TV to crash is random, researchers have found that the duration until the computer crashes follows an exponential probability distribution. a. What is the probability that the TV will fail with a usage time of less than 17,000 hours? b. What is the probability that the TV will crash with a usage time of more than 17,000 hours? c. What is the probability that no TV will fail after more than 17,000 hours of use? d. What do you think about the results of points b and c above! What is the difference?

Radio frequency identification (RFID) is an electronic scanning technology that can be used to identify items in a number of ways. One advantage of RFID is that it can eliminate the need to manually count inventory, which can help improve inventory management. The technology is not infallible, however, and sometimes errors occur when items are scanned. The probability that a scanning error occurs is 0.0069. 1. Find the probability that the number of items scanned incorrectly is between 16 and 20 , inclusive, from the next 5100 items scanned. *Kindly explain the procedure in Excel for this* A) The probability is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) 2. Find the expected number of items incorrectly from the next 5100 items B) The probability is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
