Alright, time to put my math skills to the test! Let's see, with a constant failure rate of 1/hour, the probability of failure in less than 5 hours should be pretty high. I'm going to go with C) 0.99326 and hope I'm right. Fingers crossed!

This is a tricky one. I'm going to have to break out my calculator for this. Wait, is it even possible to have a failure rate of 1/hour? That seems incredibly high. Oh well, I'll go with C and hope for the best.

I agree with Martina, the constant failure rate of 1/hour means the probability increases over time.

Hmm, I'm not sure I'm comfortable with this question. It's a bit morbid, don't you think? Who wants to think about their stuff failing, anyway? But I guess it's important to know these things for certain industries.

I think the answer is A) 0.00674 because the probability of failure in less than 5 hours is cumulative.

Okay, let's think this through. The question is asking for the probability of an item failing in less than 5 hours with a constant failure rate of 1/hour. The correct answer is C) 0.99326, which makes sense since the item has a high chance of failing within that time frame.
