Q4
A system consists of five identical components connected in series as shown:
As soon as one component fails, the entire system will fail. Suppose each component has a lifetime that is exponentially distributed with mean λ = 2 years and that component fail independently of one another.
I. What is the probability that the first component is still working after 1 year?
II. What is the probability that the entire system fails in 1 year?
