One hundred items are simultaneously put on a life test. Suppose the life
times of the individual
items are independent exponential random variables with mean 200 hours. The test wil end when
there have been a total of 5 failures. If T is the time at which the test ends, �nd E(T) and Var(T).
Solution:
It is given that individual items are independent exponential random variables. It is given that
the mean of each exponential random variable is �= 1
200
. Therefore, the minimum of n=100 i.i.d
exponential random variables with � is...
