Q. An undergraduate business student has purchased a laptop computer for use during exams. This laptop is perfectly reliable except for two parts: its microchip, which has a failure rate of one in every twenty hours of operation; also its battery, which has a failure rate of one in every ten hours of operation. Also, on average battery will wear out in five hours, with a standard deviation of 30 minutes.
Assuming which a new battery has just been installed also student brings one spare, fully charged battery with him, illustrate what is probability which laptop will perform reliably during a one-hour exam?
