A system has two components: A and B. The operating times until failure of the two components are independent and exponentially distributed random variables with parameter 2 for component A, and parameter 3 for component B. The system fails at the first component failure. Required:
a. What is the mean time to system failure?
b. What is the probability that it is component A that causes system failure?

80π/3 or about 83.775

step-by-step explanation:

since a cone is 1/3 of a cylinder, we need to find the base's area. since area = πr^2, we get 16π. then, multiplying this by 5, we get 80π. dividing by 3, since the cone's volume is 1/3 of that of a cylinder's, we get 80π/3.

hope this !

hope it

step-by-step explanation:

x^(1/6) · x^(1/6) · x^(1/6)   ·x^(1/6) = x^(4/6)   since we add the exponents

4/6 can be simplified to 2/3

the simplified form is x^(2/3)

you probably already have the answer but anyways it's b. 15.0
