3) A light fixture contains five lightbulbs. The lifetime of each bulb is exponentially distributed with mean 200 hours. Whenever a bulb burns out, it is replaced. Let T be the time of the first bulb replacement. Let Xi, i = 1, . . . , 5, be the lifetimes of the five bulbs. Assume the lifetimes of the bulbs are independent.
The time, T (measured in seconds), between successive hits on a website (“inter-hit time” in the rest of the problem) follows the exponential distribution with parameter 1/2.
