Question

Suppose you have already been waiting for one hour for a taxi. what is the probability that one arrives within the next 10 minutes?

Answer 1

The probability of one arrives within the next 10 minutes when he already been waiting for one jour for a taxi is,

 

P (X > 70 | X > 60) = P (X > 10) = 1 – P (X ≤ 10) = 1 – {1 – e ^ -((1 / 10) 10)} = e ^ -1

= 0.3679

 

The probability of one arrives within the next 10 minutes when he already been waiting for one hour for a taxi is 0.3679
