4. The span of life (in years) of a specific computer device component follows an exponential distribution whose expectation is 3.2 years. i. What is the probability that one of these components will continue to function between 4 and 10 months? ii. If one of these components is still operational after 3 years, what is the probability that it will remain operational for another 2 years?

The average life span of a certain computer part 12 years. The length of time the computer part lasts is exponentially distributed Calculate the probability that the computer part lasts more than 8 years? Compute the probability that the computer part lasts between 11 years. Find the variance of life span of the computer part.

Hal has a tablet $\mathrm{PC}$ and a smartphone. Suppose that the random variables $X$ and $Y$ give the time to failure (in years) of the tablet $\mathrm{PC}$ and the smartphone, respectively. If the joint probability density function for $X$ and $Y$ is $$f(x, y)=0.06 e^{-0.2 x} e^{-0.3 y} \quad(x \geq 0 \text { and } y \geq 0)$$ what is the probability that both Hal's tablet $P C$ and smartphone will last 4 years or longer?
