Suppose that a certain examination is to be taken by five students independently of oneanother, and the number of minutes required for any particular student to complete theexamination has the exponential distribution for which A = 30 - Suppose that the examinationbegins at 9:00 am. Determine the probability that at least one of the students will complete theexamination before 9:40 am.
