(a) Find the probability that this baby wombat won’t get the zoomies for at least 16 minutes after you start watching it. (b) Find the probability that if the baby wombat hasn’t gotten the zoomies within 14 minutes, it won’t have gotten them within half an hour. (c) Find out how long you should expect it to take before the baby wombat gets the zoomies for the fourth time.
