5. (10%) Consider the shift exponential distribution
f(x) = λ•e^-λ(x-θ)where x ≥θ

When θ = 0, the density reduces to the usual exponential distribution. When θ ＞ 0, there is only positive probability to the right of θ.

(b) Describe a practical situation in which one would suspect that the shift exponential distribution is a plausible model?
