Models of Traffic Flow (Section 5.4)
5.7 An observer has determined that the time
headways between successive vehicles on a section of
highway are exponentially distributed and that 65%
of the headways between vehicles are 9 seconds or
greater. If the observer decides to count traffic in 30-
second time intervals, estimate the probability of the
observer counting exactly four vehicles in an interval.
