Answer #1

Let X = amount of time (in months) between failures for an appliances . The time is known to have an exponential distribution with mean = 25 months.

X ~ Exp(1/25)

The probability density function of X is given by:

The probability that the next failure will not occur before 32 months have elapsed i.e. P(X>32)
