n Initial number of bulbs. •
At least, m   (mn) Number, at least, working. •
μ h Mean of lifetime (exponential distr.). •
Prob % Probability to compute corresponding time. •
N, .seed No. of trials, random no. gener. seed. •
klass, gmax, ymax   ['0' (¬ '.0'): auto.] No. of histo. classes, max. abscissa & y for graph. •
Show values Shows the coordinates of the graph. •

Simulates, via Monte Carlo, the lifetimes of n light bulbs, which follow a (common) exponential distribution, and examines the behaviour of the set, for at least m working.

Plots the pdf and cdf of the set.
