In the problem below, if we increase the number of cabs passing your workplace per hour, and change the question in letter (a), with probability of waiting time is fewer than 10 minutes. The chances of you boarding a cab fewer 10 minutes will increase. 3-171. Cabs pass your workplace according to a Poisson pro- cess with a mean of five cabs per hour. Suppose that you exit the workplace at 6:00 P.M. Determine the following: (a) Probability that you wait more than 10 minutes for a cab. (b) Probability that you wait fewer than 20 minutes for a cab.
