The Poisson Probability Distribution
Patients arrive at an emergency department according to a Poisson process with a mean of 6.5 per hour. (a) What is the mean time until the tenth arrival? (b) What is the probability that more than 20 minutes is required for the third arrival?

Erlang and Gamma Distributions
Refer to Exercise $3.122 .$ Assume that arrivals occur according to a Poisson process with an average of seven per hour. What is the probability that exactly two customers arrive in the twohour period of time between a. 2: 00 P.M. and 4: 00 P.M. (one continuous two-hour period)? b. 1: 00 P.M. and 2: 00 p.M. or between 3: 00 p.M. and 4: 00 P.M. (two separate one-hour periods that total two hours)?
