The mean number of patients admitted per day to the emergency room of a small hospital is 0.5. If, on any given day, there are only 6 beds available for new patients, what is the probability that the hospital will not have enough beds to accommodate its newły admitted patients? P(Y > 1-) (formula) (numeric result) Use for the value of the variable ()/ ) for fractions ( )! for factorial ) for the exponential function

Suppose the you have to take a bus to work. The amount of time until the next bus arrives follows an Exponential distribution with mean 7 minutes. (a) What is the probability that the next bus will arrive within 5 minutes? (b) 90% of all buses arrive within how many minutes of the previous bus? (c) Suppose the bus still has not arrived within 9 minutes of the last bus. Knowing that, what is the probability that the next bus will take at least 15 minutes to arrive? (d) Suppose that the amount of time the next bus arrives is independent of each next bus with the same distribution (Exponential with mean 7). What is the probability that the next bus arrives in less time than the next next bus (i.e. a second bus)?
