Chapter 12.4, Problem 13E

Reliability of Electronic Components Suppose that the average life span of an electronic component is 72 months and that the life spans are exponentially distributed.

Find the probability that a component lasts for more than 24 months.

The reliability function r ( t ) gives the probability that a component will last for more than t months. Compute r ( t ) in this case.
