The distance between two subsequent rust attacks is exponentially distributed with parameter λ (the distance between subsequent events in a Poisson process is exponentially distributed), and we still assume that λ = 5 per kilometer. What is the probability that the distance between two consecutive rust attacks is between 200 and 300 meters ?
