Homework 3: Suppose that three telephone users use the same number and that we are interested in estimating the probability that more than one will use it at the same time. If independence of telephone habit is assumed, the probability of exactly k persons requiring use of the telephone at the same time is given by the mass function p (k) associated with the binomial distribution. Let it be given that, on average, a telephone user is on the phone 5 minutes per hour.
