The lifetime, in years, of a type of small electric motor operating under adverse conditions is exponentially distributed with λ = 3.500. Whenever a motor fails, it is replaced with another of the same type. Find the probability that fewer than six motors fail within one year. (Round the final answer to three decimal places.)
