Nr of customers arriving at a shop follow Poisson.
In 15, an average of 4 customers arrive.
a)
A customer has just arrived. Then a minute passed and no one arrived. What is the probability of it takoing at least 5 more min. until another customer arrives?
b)
Consider 40 non-overlapping periods of 15 min.
What is the probability that
at least 7 and at most 15 of those intervals have at most 2 customers arriving?
In book, answer to
a) is 0.2636
b) is F(2.22) - F(-1.12) = 0.855
In a) although I don't see why, I understande that it's something about memorylessness or something. But how do you get to the answer in question b)?
