The Exponential Distribution · Example 9
(a) On average, how many minutes elapse between two successive arrivals?
(b) When the store first opens, how long on average does it take for three customers to arrive?
(c) After a customer arrives, find the probability that it takes less than one minute for the next customer to arrive.
(d) After a customer arrives, find the probability that it takes more than five minutes for the next customer to arrive.
(e) Seventy percent of the customers arrive within how many minutes of the previous customer?
(f) Is an exponential distribution reasonable for this situation?
Its source prints no answer for this problem, so there's nothing to check against.
