Let Y > 0 be a continuous random variable representing time from regimen start to bone-marrow transplant. Everyone does not survive long enough to get the transplant. Let X > 0 be a continuous random variable representing time from regimen start to death. We can assume X ⊥ Y and model time to death as X ∼ Exp(rate = θ) and time to transplant as Y ∼ Exp(rate = µ). Where Exp(rate = λ) denotes the exponential distribution with density f(z | λ) = λe−λz for z > 0 and 0 elsewhere - with λ > 0. Find the probability that the patient would die before receiving transplant.
