Our department seminar room is lit by 7 light bulbs, controlled by a single switch A minimum of 3 lights are needed for the room to be usable. Suppose the lifetime of the brand of light bulbs fitted is exponentially distributed with a mean of 400 hours Assume a seminar lasts exactly 1 hour, and that the lights are switched on only during the seminar What is the probability that after 500 seminars, exactly 3 bulbs do not need to be replaced?
