Answer:
the probability that no customer will arrive in the next 6 minutes = 0.36788 = 0.368
Step-by-step explanation:
If there are 10 customers per hour, this translates to 1 customer per 6 minutes
So, if there's a mean of 1 customer per 6 minutes, to obtain the probability that no customer will come in a 6 minute interval, this becomes a Poisson distribution problem.
The Poisson distribution formula is given by
P(X = x) = (e^-λ)(λˣ)/x!
where λ = mean = 1 customer per 6 minutes
x = 0 customer per 6 minutes
P(X=0) = (e⁻¹)(1⁰)/0! = 0.36788 = 0.368
