After getting through security, the time (in minutes) a person waits until boarding a flight at an airport follows an Exponential distribution with mean 45 minutes. Suppose there are 10 passengers arriving at Eppley Airport. a) What is the expected total waiting time of these 10 passengers? b) What distribution does the total waiting time follow? c) What is the standard deviation of the total waiting time?

The time between arrivals of customers at the drive-up window of a bank follows an exponential distribution with a mean of 10 minutes. a)What is the probability that the arrival time between customers will be 7 minutes or less? b)What is the probability that the arrival time between customers will be between 3 and 7 minutes? c)What is the probability that the arrival time between customers will exceed 10 minutes? d)What is the standard deviation of the time between arrivals of customers?

The amount of time that a customer spends waiting at an airport check-in counter is a random variable with mean 10.2 minutes and standard deviation 1.5 minutes. Suppose that a random sample of 49 customers is taken. Find the probability that the average time waiting in line for these customers is (a) Less than 10.2 minutes. (b) Less than 10 minutes. (c) Between 9.5 and 10.5 minutes. (d) More than 9.8 minutes.
