A lamp has two bulbs, each of a type with averagelifetime 1,800 hours. Assuming that we can model theprobability of failure of a bulb by an exponential density functionwith mean 𝜇 = 1,800, find the probability that bothof the lamp's bulbs fail within 1,500 hours. (Round youranswer to four decimal places.)
(b)Another lamp has just one bulb of the same type as in part(a). If one bulb burns out and is replaced by a bulb of the sametype, find the probability that the two bulbs fail within a totalof 1,500 hours. (Round your answer to four decimalplaces.)
