Question

Page 97 4.6 (modified): A program is divided into 3 blocks that are be-ing compiled on 3 parallel computers. Each block takes an Exponential amount of time, 5 minutes on the average, independently of other blocks. The program is completed when all the blocks are compiled. Compute the probability it takes the program longer than 6 minutes to be compiled.
