A building contains 1000 light bulbs. Each bulb lasts at most 5 months. The company maintaining the building is trying to decide whether it is worthwhile to practice a “group replacement” policy. Under a group replacement policy, all bulbs are replaced every T months (where T is to be determined). Also, bulbs are replaced when they burn out. Assume that it costs
