@srestha mam, please see the pic below for the answer.


Here the lifetime of the product is 0<T<3

T>=2 states that the product will work fine till 2 or more years i.e it includes 0<T<=2 and 2<T<3 and T>=3. 

But as the product breaks down in 3rd year, we have to remove T>=3 from above. 

Thus the required probability is P(T>=2) - P(T>=3).

Probability will be $\frac{e^{-\frac{2}{4}}-e^{-\frac{3}{4}}}{e^{-\frac{2}{4}}}$

right??

i.e. $P\left ( A/B \right )=\frac{P\left ( A\cap B \right )}{P\left ( B \right )}$

No.

Required probability= P(0<T<3) = P(T>=2)-P(T>=3)

I had given the explanation.

Avg waiting time $\lambda$ = $5$ min.

average rate is $1$ process in $5$ minutes i.e. $1/5$

According to exponential distribution,

$P(X<=1) = \int_{0}^{1}\frac{1}{5}e^{-\frac{t}{5}}dt = 1- e^{-\frac{1}{5}} = 1- 0.81=0.18$

@srestha mam,

pdf can take only continuous values,

pmf can take only discrete values,

but cdf can take both discrete and continuous values.

For continuous probability distribution, c.d.f take continuous values i.e. a range of values. 

For discrete probability distribution, c.d.f take discrete values.

@SuvasishDutta

yes, right.

By the way, from where u read for  this probability portion, like exponential, pmf, pdf, cdf portion?

By Using the poisson distribution and substituting the average rate to 3,

Probality is 0.149
