A communications satellite is designed to have a mean time to failure (MTF) of five years. If the actual time to failure is a random variable that is exponentially distributed, find: a) The probability that the satellite will fail sooner than five years. b) The probability that the satellite, will survive for ten years or more. c) The probability that the satellite will fail during the sixth year.
