The probability that a new computer functions for over 10,000 hours is 0.8, the probability that it functions for over 20,000 hours is 0.4 and the probability that it functions for over 30,000 hours is 0.1. If a new computer is still working after 10,000 hours, what is the probability that i. its total life will exceed 20,000 hours; ii. its additional life will exceed 20,000 hours?
