Suppose that the length of a phone call in minutes is an exponential random variable with parameter λ = 1/8. If someone arrives immediately ahead of you at a public telephone booth, find the probability that (a) you will have to wait more than 5 minutes. (b) you will have to wait between 10 and 20 minutes. (c) If you have waited for 5 minutes, what is the probability that you will have to wait more than 15 minutes in total?
