Question
The lifetime of a device is a continuous random variable having the continuous uniform distribution Unif(0, 20). Suppose
that under an age replacement strategy a planned replacement at age T = 5 costs 500 dollars, while a failure replaced at
time X <T costs 570 dollars.
Determine the long-run average cost per unit time:
