The exponential distribution, often denoted exp(β), is characterized by a single mean parameter β. The exponential distribution has a unique property that its standard deviation is equal to its mean. Suppose you order 100 light bulbs known to each have lifespans (in years) distributed according to exp(4). What is the probability that the average lifespan of your 100 light bulbs exceeds 5 years?
