M3
Suppose Bob is serving customers from a food truck. Alice is taking a break from her work and
shows up. This time she gets in line to order food. She is the seventh person in line. Compute
the probability she will be served within 10 minutes.
To compute the probability, assume the time it takes Bob to serve one customer is Exponential
with rate parameter A = 0.75 customers per minute. Furthermore, assume that all the service
times are independent and occur back-to-back. Under these assumptions, what is the probability
Alice will be served within 10 minutes?
(Decimal form, four places.)
