Let x be the time in minutes between two successive arrivals at the drive-up window of a local bank. if x has an exponential distribution with λ = 1, compute the following: (if necessary, round your answer to three decimal places.)

(a) the expected time between two successive arrivals is minutes.

(b) the standard deviation of the time between successive arrivals is minutes.

a) 1

b) 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

X = The time in minutes between two successive arrivals

X has an exponential distribution with λ = 1

Now,

a) The expected time between two successive arrivals is minutes i.e

E(X) =

or

E(X) =

or

E(X) = 1

b)  The standard deviation of the time between successive arrivals is minutes

i.e

σₓ =

or

σₓ =

or

σₓ = 1

x + 4/7
