The problem asks to calculate the probability that exactly 2 out of 5 radio tubes will need replacement within the first 150 hours of operation, given that: 1) The lifetime of each tube is a random variable with a probability density function f(x). 2) The lifetimes of the tubes are independent events. 3) f(x) is defined as 100/x^2 for x > 100 and 0 for x ≤ 100. This probability density function describes the lifetime distribution of the radio tubes.
