The time between arrivals of customers at an automatic teller machine is an exponential random variable with a mean of 4 minutes. Round yours answers to 4 decimal places. (a) What is the probability that more than three customers arrive in 10 minutes

0.7788 = 77.88% probability that more than three customers arrive in 10 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential distribution:

The exponential probability distribution, with mean m, is described by the following equation:

In which is the decay parameter.

The probability that x is lower or equal to a is given by:

Which has the following solution:

The probability of finding a value higher than x is:

In this question, we have that:

The time between arrivals of customers at an automatic teller machine is an exponential random variable with a mean of 4 minutes, and we have three customers, which means that

(a) What is the probability that more than three customers arrive in 10 minutes

This is P(X > 3). So

0.7788 = 77.88% probability that more than three customers arrive in 10 minutes

if you explain the the question more correctly i might be able to answer this better

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
