Question:

A sample of 100 high-reliability capacitors was placed on test for 2,000 hours. At the end of this period only three capacitors had malfunctioned, with failure times of 810, 1,422, and 1,816 hours. Assuming an exponential failure time distribution, construct a 99% confidence interval for the mean time between failures of the capacitors. Interpret the interval.
