Question:

10.10 Suppose that during the thunderstorm in the previous problem we monitor the device using a computer connected to a power source. Suppose the rate is λ = 3 per hour. Each time lightning hits, it would damage the computer, so we created a device which will protect the computer. However, the device needs to be taken out and serviced for exactly 10 min before it is operational again.

a) Suppose that a single lightning event during the service period will destroy the computer. What is the probability that the computer will crash?

b) Assume now that the computer will survive a single lightning bolt during the service period but two during that period will destroy it. What is the probability of computer crashing now?
