Question about probability and poisson process

Hi all, I have a question about probability. Can you help me?

There are 2 events:
- Customer A arrives the system B in accordance with a Poisson process with rate Lambda1
- Customer A arrives the system C in accordance with a Poisson process with rate Lambda2.

Given that Poisson processes are mutually independent. Computing the probability of the event that customer A arrivers the system B and the probability of the event that customer A arrivers the system C?

Thank you!

I'm guessing there is only one custumer. The holding times are exponential with parameter lambda. The question then is \mathbb{P}(\mathbf{e}_{\lambda_1}< \mathbf{e}_{\lambda_2}). Condition on one of them and use the law of total probability.
 
Thank you. As your suggestion, I found the solution.
 
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
Thread 'Detail of Diagonalization Lemma'
The following is more or less taken from page 6 of C. Smorynski's "Self-Reference and Modal Logic". (Springer, 1985) (I couldn't get raised brackets to indicate codification (Gödel numbering), so I use a box. The overline is assigning a name. The detail I would like clarification on is in the second step in the last line, where we have an m-overlined, and we substitute the expression for m. Are we saying that the name of a coded term is the same as the coded term? Thanks in advance.
