The digestion time in hours of a fixed amount of food is exponentially distributed with average 45 minutes. Recall that p(t) = ke-kt for t > 0 (in minutes), where k = 1/a. What is the probability that the food is digested in less than 30 minutes? In more than 60 minutes? a = Between 35 and 55 minutes?
