Question:

A company makes a certain device. We are interested in the lifetime of the device. It is estimated that around 2% of the devices are defective from the start so they have a lifetime of 0 years. If a device is not defective, then the lifetime of the device is exponentially distributed with a parameter λ = 2 years. Let X be the lifetime of a randomly chosen device.

a. Find the generalized PDF of X.

b. Find P(X ≥ 1).

c. Find P(X > 2|X ≥ 1).

d. Find EX and Var(X).
