4.- The response time of a computer is an important application of the distribution exponential. Suppose that a study of a certain computer system reveals that the time of The answer, in seconds, has an exponential distribution with a mean of 8 seconds. a) What is the probability that the response time exceeds 10 seconds? b) What is the probability that the response time is less than 3 seconds?
