Suppose that the amount of time one spends in the bank is exponentially distributed with mean 10 minutes. What is the probability the customer will spend more than 15 minutes in the bank given he is still in the bank after 10 minutes.

Suppose that the amount of time one spends in a bank is exponentially distributed with a mean of ten minutes, that is µ = 1/10. What is the probability that a customer will spend more than twenty-five minutes in the bank? What is the probability that a customer will spend more than 25 minutes in the bank given that she is still in the bank after 15 minutes?

A train arrives at a station every 15 minutes. It is assumed that the waiting time for a particular individual is a random variable with a continuous uniform distribution. (a) What is the probability that the individual waits more than 10 minutes? (b) What is the probability that the individual waits between 6 and 12 minutes?
