Integration and Probability of Light Bulb Lifespan

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the probability that both light bulbs in a lamp will fail within 600 hours, using an exponential density function with a mean of 1,500 hours. The process involves setting up a double integral over a defined region and performing integration using substitution methods. The final result is calculated and interpreted, showing a probability of approximately 10.87%.
