Reliability of CD-ROMs. In Reliability Ques (March 2004), the exponential distribution was used to model the lengths of life of CD-ROM drives in a two-drive system. The two CD-ROM drives operate independently, and at least one drive must be operating for the system to operate successfully. Both drives have a mean length of life of 25,000 hours. The reliability $S(t)$ of the two-drive/CD-ROM system is the probability that the life of at least one drive exceeds $t$ hours. Give a formula for $S(t)$. [Hint: Use the rule of complements and the fact that the two drives operate independently.]
