Question
M3
Suppose Bob is serving customers from a food truck. Alice is taking a break from her work and shows up. This time she gets in line to order food. She is the seventh person in line. Compute the probability she will be served within 10 minutes. To compute the probability, assume the time it takes Bob to serve one customer is Exponential with rate parameter A = 0.75 customers per minute. Furthermore, assume that all the service times are independent and occur back-to-back. Under these assumptions, what is the probability Alice will be served within 10 minutes? (Decimal form, four places.)
