q1- Collina's Italian Cafe in Houston, Texas, advertises that carryout orders take about 25 minutes. Assume that the time required for a carryout order to be ready for customer pickup has an exponential distribution with a mean of 25 minutes. What is the probability that a carryout order will be ready within 20 minutes?
