Suppose that the life of an inexpensive wrist watch (how long it will run) has an exponential distribution with a mean life of 7 years. If X denotes the life of the wrist watch (time to failure), and the wrist watch has already been working for 2.6 years, then what is the conditional probability that it will continue working for another 9.6 years?
