Question
Suppose process times on a machine are exponentially distributed with a mean of 10 minutes. A job has currently been running for 90 minutes. What is the expected time until completion?
Step 1
We know that the process times are exponentially distributed with a mean of 10 minutes. This means that the rate parameter (λ) is 1/10. Show more…

The amount of time needed for a certain machine to process a job is a random variable with mean 10 minutes and standard deviation of 1.41 minutes. A sample of 40 jobs were independently selected all sharing the same distribution. Find the probability that on average the machine processes less than or equal to 10.5 minutes per job.
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.
