Consider a small shop with only one checkout counter. The arrivals of customers are distributed throughout the day such that a line rarely forms at the counter. Suppose the arrival times of customers at the counter follow the Exponential Distribution: X ~ Exp(0.4). What is the mean time (in minutes) between customers? Determine the following probability: P(2 < X < 10)

Exponential probability distribution has a mean equal to 10 minutes per customer. Calculate the following probabilities for the distribution: a) P(x < b) b) P(x < d) c) P(x < 10) d) P(x > 7) (Round to four decimal places as needed)

The time t (in minutes) that a customer spends at a check-out counter is believed to follow the exponential distribution. It was observed that 20% of the customers spend more than 3 minutes at the check-out counter. What is the probability that an incoming clerk will spend at most 2 minutes at the check-out counter?
