In the mid-afternoon a restaurant receives orders such that the time between them follows an exponential distribution. The mean time between orders is 11 minutes. a) What is the probability that the restaurant receives no orders in a 30-minute interval? b) What is the probability that the restaurant receives at least one other order within 1 min of the first
