Probability Density Function...Help
The probabiltiy density function of the time to failure of an electric component in hours is f(x)=e^{(-x/3000)/3000} for x > 0 and f(x) = 0 for x \leq 0 determine the probability that
a) A component last more than 1000 hours before failure
I know how to solve this part. All I have to to is integrate the given function from [1000, infinity].
But how do determine the number of hours at which 10% of all the components have failed? I don't know what interval I should integrate over. Any Ideas?
