The time X (in minutes) between customer arrivals at a bank is exponentially distributed with mean 1.5 minutes. (a) If a customer has just arrived, what is the probability that no customer will arrive in the next 2 minutes? (b) What is the probability that no customer will arrive within the next minute, given that no customer had arrived in the past minute?

Suppose that the mean number of customers who arrive per minute at the bank during the noon-to-1 p.m. hour is equal to 3.0. Find the following: (Poisson) What is the probability that in a given minute, exactly two customers will arrive? What is the probability that more than two customers will arrive in a given minute? What is the probability that exactly 10 customers will arrive in a given 5 minutes?

An exponential probability distribution has lambda equal to 23 customers per hour. a) What is the probability that the next customer will arrive within the next 48 seconds? b) What is the probability that the next customer will arrive within the next 1 to 3 minutes? c) What is the probability that the next customer will arrive within the next 2 to 5 minutes? d) What is the probability that the next customer will arrive within the next 4 to 11 minutes? a) The probability that the next customer will arrive within the next 48 seconds is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
