The probability that the density $y$ for the failure of the first bulb is: $f(x)=\dfrac{e^{-x/800}}{800}$ The probability that all three bulbs will fail within $1000$ hours can be found as: $\int_{0}^{1000}\int_{0}^{1000} \int_{0}^{1000}f(x) f(y) f(z) dx dy dz=[\int_{0}^{1000} f(x)] dx]^3$ or, $=\int_{0}^{1000} \int_{0}^{1000-x} \int_{0}^{1000-x-y} e^{-(\dfrac{1}{800})^3 e^{-(x+y+z)/800}} dz dy dx$ or, $=[\int_{0}^{1000} \dfrac{e^{-x/800}}{800} dx]^3$ or, $=\dfrac{-1}{(800)^2} \int_0^{1000} [e^{-5/4} (1800-x) -800 e^{-x/800}]_0^{1000}$ or, $=1-\dfrac{97 e^{-5/4}}{32} $ or, $ \approx 0.1315$
