Please show your work. The answer is only for reference.

You have two electrical components of two different kinds. The lifetime of the first kind is exponentially distributed with parameter .2 and the lifetime of the second kind is exponentially distributed with parameter .3. If the lifetimes of the two are independent, what is the probability that the first will fail before the second? Answer: .4

Please show your work. The answer is only for reference. Suppose that an urn contains 7 green, 8 red, and 9 yellow balls. You pick a ball at random and replace it. You then do this 9 more times (making 10 times altogether). What is the probability that you selected green 2 times, red 3 times, and yellow 5 times? (Hint: multinomial distribution.) Answer: .0589

The electrical system for an assembly line has four components arranged in two parallel subsystems as shown in the diagram below. Each of the four components (labeled 1, 2, 3, 4) are independent and each has a 10% chance of failure. Because the components are independent, the two subsystems (labeled A and B) are also independent. If one component in a subsystem fails, then the whole subsystem fails because the power cannot get through. However, because there are two subsystems,...
