An article in a magazine discussed the length of time till failure of a particular product. At the end of the product's lifetime, the time till failure is modeled using an exponential distribution with a mean of 500 thousand hours. In reliability jargon this is known as the "wear-out" distribution for the product. During its normal (useful) life, assume the product's time till failure is uniformly distributed over the range 200 thousand to 1 million hours. Complete parts a through c. a. At the end of the product's lifetime, find the probability that the product fails before 600 thousand hours. (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
