[See Steps] A device consists of five independent electronic components that perform the same function. Assume the components are connected in parallel


Question: A device consists of five independent electronic components that perform the same function.

  1. Assume the components are connected in parallel and the time to failure of component \(1 \leq i \leq 5\) is the random variable \(X_{i} \sim \operatorname{EXP}(1) .\) Find the pdf for \(Y\), the device's time to failure.
  2. Repeat (a) but with the components in series and not in parallel.
  3. Suppose the device fails when three of the five components fails. Give the pdf of \(Y\), the time to failure of this device.
  4. What is the average expected increase in device lifespan created by placing the five components in parallel instead of in series?
