Step 1
The exponential distribution has a probability density function (pdf) given by $f(x) = \lambda e^{-\lambda x}$, where $\lambda$ is the rate parameter and $x$ is the response time. Show more…

Computer response time is an important application of the gamma and exponential distributions. Suppose that a study of a certain computer system reveals that the rasponse time, in seconds, has an exponential distribution with a mean of 3 seconds. (a) What is the probability that response time exceeds 5 seconds? (b) What is the probability that response time exceeds 10 seconds?

Suppose that a study of a certain computer system reveals that the response time, in seconds, has an exponential distribution with density curve f(x) = (1/3)e(-x/3) for x > 0 and f(x) = 0 otherwise. What is the probability that response time exceeds 5 seconds? What is the probability that response time exceeds 10 seconds?
