Expert Solution

Step 1

Obtain the probability that a ship will not be damaged in 20,000 hours.

The probability that a ship will not be damaged in 20,000 hours is obtained below as follows:

From the information, given that the failures in a ship is assumed to be 100,000 hours of sailing.

Let X be the failure time in a ship which follows exponential distribution with the mean of 100,000 hours.
