[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.
- 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.
- Repeat (a) but with the components in series and not in parallel.
- Suppose the device fails when three of the five components fails. Give the pdf of \(Y\), the time to failure of this device.
- What is the average expected increase in device lifespan created by placing the five components in parallel instead of in series?
