Question 1131699: (Please enter your answers as fractions in lowest terms or as decimals rounded to four decimal places. Thank you!)
If an assembly has been tested 300 hours without a failure, what is the probability of a failure in the next 64 hours? The lifetime of a mechanical assembly in a vibration test is exponentially distributed with mean of 404 hours.

mean is 1/404=0.002475
next 64 hours is what matters
1-e^(-64*0.002475) is the area under the curve that is <=64
=0.1465
